Want Fi Goh Rave Lyrics - Forces Of Victory - Linton Kwesi Johnson

I woz 

Waakin doun di road road 

Di addah day 

When a hear a lickle yout-man say 

Him 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 feelin 

Still mi haffi mek a raze 

Kaw mi come af age 

An mi want fi goh rave 

I woz waakin doun di road 

Annadah day 

Wen ah hear annadah yout-man say 

Him 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 it 

Still mi haffi mek a raze 

Kaw mi come af age 

An mi want fi goh rave 

I woz waakin doun di road 

Yet annadah day 

Wen ah hear annadah yout-man say 

Him 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 hatchit 

But mi haffi mek a raze 

Kaw mi come af age 

An mi want fi goh rave
