We had been living in a drunk mans tin can
until up pulled a renovated police van
my beer it hit
the right hand turn switch,
Oh sh it
Sweet,
bring the whole fleet
He lit me me up, I pulled to the shoulder
the cop had my birthday but threw no party
Ah crap, here we go again
what? How could there be so many?
a roach a plenty
lucky for me
He cut us a break
Just took it all
Could not get the cuffs off
So be called for his crew
Left us stranded on desolation avenue
Me now travol trom home
To town me find a lot of pipo running away
Me don know wat has happened
Me suddenly find da police van pull up
Dey say they want to take me
I ask dem wat I have done
Da police laugh and dey hit me in da belly
Me triy to run dey thro me down
One police man shouted he didn't do wrong
Me triy to say dey hit me in da belly
Now wat happened was a night mare
They hit me in da belly
Dey rolling me like a chicken
Dey called me thief
Dey kicked me a lot but me started to cry
Dey laugh and laugh but I stoped to cry
Now what happened was heaven
I got up I hit one in head
And he started to cry
Den suddenly all of dem ran after me
Me started to shake almost urinated
Suddenly dey caught me den me started to sing
Dey laughed dey laugh
Den I started to remove my cloths
Dey now thot I was mad person
Dey quickly got back in the van as they thot dey caught da wrong person
Den me ran home
I told my mom dat was so close
He raped me,
He is a devil,
He ‘d broken my heart,
He deserves a long punishment,
The people were crying loudly,
When they saw an appearing police van,
He is so wild,
He never respected me as a human being.
Also a lady was crying in the courtyard,
When a young lad appeared with hand cuffs,
In a witness dock.
Everybody was pointing at the evil man,
But during the case hearing,
She announced her pregnancy.
Today was her defence,
When A defence Lawyer asked her,
He is wild, arrogant and vicious,
Now you have his child,
What do you do this pregnancy?
I shall keep my child. It’s mine, she cried.
