Di Eagle an' Di Bear Lyrics


DI EAGLE AND DI BEARDi Eagle and di Bear a keep a living in fear
Of the impending nuclear warfare
But as a matter of fact - believe it or not
Plenty people don't care whether it imminent or not
Or who di first one to attack or if the human race
[aba] survive or not
For those whom is aware
Them life already coming like a nightmareAnd you can see it everywhere
The famine and the fear
The doubt and the drought
Desperation and despair
And you can see it all around
The massacres abound
Dead bodies all around
The atrocities abound
Missing persons can' t be found
Dictators get dethroned
New clowns are quickly found

Enjoy the lyrics !!!

Linton Kwesi Johnson (aka LKJ) (born 24 August 1952, in Chapelton, Jamaica) is a British-based dub poet. He became only the second living poet to be published in the Penguin series. His poetry involves the recitation of his own verse in Jamaican creole over dub-reggae, usually written in collaboration with renowned British reggae producer/artist Dennis Bovell . Most of Johnson's poetry is political, dealing mainly with the experiences of being an african-caribbean in Britain.
