You nuh see how de clou' them jus' came sit upon me dream
|
came sit upon me dream like a dark silk screen
|
a dark silk screen over de vision I had seen
|
vision I had seen, the vision I had seen
|
|
So me say that Walter Radni was a victim of hate
|
someone say that him gone thru heaven's gate
|
someone that Walter Radni shouldn't tek up his true weight
|
an' go carry 'pon 'im back like 'im de weary man a rock
|
|
But look how de clou' dem jus' came sat upon me dream
|
came sit upon me dream like a shout or a scream
|
a shout or a scream or a really ugly scene
|
that awake me from the dream an' alert me to the scheme
|
|
So me say that Walter Radni was a prisoner of fate
|
someone say that him gone thru de hero's gate
|
someone say that Walter Radni couldn't tek his true weight
|
so 'im tek it off 'im back an' go pick it 'pon 'im lap
|
an' go fall in a trap, an' Sam Burnham get it drop
|
|
But look how me dream come jus' get blown to smithereen
|
came blown to smithereen ina de miggle of the dream
|
Miggle of the dream before de peeple dem come in
|
peeple dem come in, the peeple dem come in
|
|
So me say that Walter Radni was no shark fi de sea
|
An' all that him did wan' was fi set 'im peeple free
|
Wi' de workers an' de peasan's him should a corporate
|
But like a fish to de hook, 'im go bite 'pon Burnham bait
|
|
You nuh see how me dream come jus' get blown to smithereen
|
An' blown to smithereen ina de miggle of the dream
|
Miggle of the dream before de really crucial scene
|
the really crucial scene when the peeple dem come in
|
