Riding on my bicycle
Got knocked down by a motorcycle
In front of a crowd of people
Luckily, I was Jah Jah disciple
/: I lay on the ground I was so injured
So unconscious, did not know what to do :/
Yeah, man!
When the bike really hit me
I see stars and peeni walli
Beddameng! — pain all over me
Me tink me get shocked by electricity
Beddameng!
/: I lay on the ground I was so injured
So unconscious, did not know what to do :/
Yeah, man!
Me say at the public hospital
Crowd gather around like it was a funeral, ‘ey!
Some say it accidental
Or the lang youth ha look ‘pon a fat gal
(2nd time: How’s a tall youth ha stare ‘pon a fat gal)
(repeat all)
NOTE: A «peeni-walli» is a type of blue beetle from Jamaica —
A kind of firefly.
Christopher A. Edmonds [..] used to tease some kids at school about how
«when them come a town dem feel say streetlamp mussa peenie-wallie
In a bottle» 🙂
(they thought a streetlamp was a firefly in a bottle, as I-man
