Reggae Fi Radni Lyrics - Linton Kwesi Johnson

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
