Just Rhyming... (Meant To Be Versed To Dancehall Beats) Poem by Leslie Alexis

Say we ah talk
And we talk back so
Speak to the sin
And the sin must go.
Hug your brother
Because them ain't you foe
Speak to the sin and the sin must go

When the devil come knock pon you door
Close it in him face
and tell him: NO, NO
When the devil call
saying, let's go
Speak to him face
And tell him..... 'Hell', No!
-
Face painting, face painting
Wipe the mask off,
Under, all ah dem boy singing the same thing
Dem take what was nice
And make it a lame thing....
No look at yuhself
Pointing fingers
Caught up in the blame thing.
Life is a gift
Dem take it and
Make it a game thing.
Nuh bless God with them talent
dem make it a fame thing.
-
Eviction, eviction
Inna yuh life, throw out the devil
Put up some restriction

Eviction, Eviction
Throw out the dirty word
Start watch yuh diction

Eviction, Eviction
Inna di Lord plant yuh foot,
Live life like a Christian!
-
Me get high
Di weed me nuh smoke it
Me get drunk
Di rum me nuh drink it
But the bible me read it
Me feel light
Me Burdens, me just float it
Because to Christ
Me give it.
and this tune from top
me repeat it.
