Wetins go on
Baby you go chop

light
Light, darkness caresses;
Blackened space di cur;
i heaven pikin breath
For di darkness... I am light;
Warmth mai bodi resonator;
Eyes focus bright
Mai
Darkness caresses
Light
Light
Light

Its silly I know but I have two adopted little ones
dropped from a tree, forest persons, in Borneo,
they were so small and frail, starving babies
one kept in a cage, one dropped from a palm tree
rescued to a special forest and hut in a sanctuary
there humans feed and strengthen them with leaves
helping their arms and legs lengthen and grow
even as babies their eyes, were wrinkled and old
and although I will never hold them from so far I know
I am content to help feed them to watch them grow
to give to the earth and to our cousins from long long ago

Mi camma to America wid a passion for moni en fud,
hoppin to getta rich;
en de sai det gold is founda in striz!
Mi work en work ol dei

En me veit too mani iers, to see butiful voman

Whata a bodi! A Diva so sexi!
En mi wanna be laika Valentino from Italia,
to sedus ol duh pritty ladi vid mi ciarma;
en ol kiss mi...O locki Casanova!
English Translation:
I come to America with a passion for money and food,
hoping to get rich;
and they say that gold is found on streets!
I work and work all day
to make some dollar,
and I eat pizza and drink wine...
I would like to be like Al Pacino
a famous actor in Hollywood!
And I waited many years to see beautiful women
like Marilyn Monroe...what a face!
What a body! A Diva so sexy!
And I like to be like Valentino from Italy,
to seduce all the pretty ladies with my charm;
and they all kiss me...O lucky Casanova!!
