Reggae Fi Radni

Linton Kwesi Johnson

    Continues after the ad

    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
