3 “You tell, ‘Ho, man! I stay all jam up! Da One In Charge make me come mo an mo sore inside, so I stay hurt plenny! I stay real tired from moaning! I no can res!’ ”
If I neva trus God, den I no goin see How good Da One In Charge stay. But fo shua, I know How good Da One In Charge stay, An fo shua I goin stay alive.
I feel jalike I stay Inside da real deep place Inside da middo a da ocean. Da watta make big noise, Soun jalike all da wattafalls You wen make. Da watta come all aroun me. Jalike all da big waves Dat you sen on top me.
I yell to you real plenny fo you help me. Az why I stay tired! Az why my throat feel jalike stay burn, An my eyes come weak. You my God, I stay wait Fo you fo do someting.
I like my head come jalike one spring fo watta, An my eyes jalike one fountain fo my tears come out! Cuz I like cry plenny, day time an nite time, Cuz plenny peopo get kill, an dey my peopo.
“From da sky he sen fire Down inside my bones. He spread one net fo catch my feets, An make me turn an go back. He make me come all wipe out, Ready fo pass out all day.
“I like you see all da bad kine stuff dey do. Pay um back hard! Jalike you wen pay me back hard, Fo all da stuff I wen do agains you. I stay moan plenny, An I stay weak an sad inside.”
