Boxing Match In Patois

Boxing match in Patois

de warm blood splash on me face
me was startle
wid de blood all over 
de place

me lookin out for police
man
but is legal (no disgrace)

ding dong de bell go wild
all dey people like a child
dem 
shoutin and dey take dey booze
dey hit anyone dey choose

me get up to go, no want dey 
boxin show, no more dance around the ring
to do dey blood splashing ting

me short,me glove,me tie-up shoe
up to attic dey all go

me boy no more dey boxing dude
now dey rum and pot of food
