Post by: natural blacks on February 10, 2006, 08:41:40 AM
suh dem tek wi and put wi inna dem... "human race"

but dem tek wi put wi in deh
den now time fi di track meet

dat dem just splitt up di race shortly
di journey tough and dem nuh want none lose pace
suh now, a black , yellow and, white race...
suh now while black and yellow a conquer dem owna race
white man a werk togedda and a conquer di human race

At first, it was not easy for me to read this piece because I did not really captivate the Jamaican Creole...However, after i read it a few times more-i realize that you are talking about SOME DEEP STUFF.

Excellent Job!
