Want Fi Goh Rave Lyrics


I woz
Waakin doun di road road
Di addah day
When a hear a lickle yout-man sayHim seh
Yu noh si mi situation
Mi dont have noh accamadaeshan
Mi haffi sign aan at di station
At six in di evenin
Mi seh mi life got no meanin
Ah jus livin widout feelinStill mi haffi mek a raze
Kaw mi come af age
An mi want fi goh raveI woz waakin doun di road
Annadah day
Wen ah hear annadah yout-man sayHim seh
Mi naw wok fi noh pittance
Mi naw draw dem assistance
Mi use to run a lickle rackit
But wha, di police dem di stap it

An ah had woz to hap itStill mi haffi mek a raze
Kaw mi come af age
An mi want fi goh raveI woz waakin doun di road
Yet annadah day
Wen ah hear annadah yout-man sayHim seh
Mi haffi pick a packit
Tek a wallit fram a jackit
Mi haffi dhu it real crabit
An if a lackit mi haffi pap it
An if a safe mi haffi crack it
Ar chap it wid mi hatchitBut mi haffi mek a raze
Kaw mi come af age
An mi want fi goh rave

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.
