"Know Not Whom (535b, Pt. 2)" - Song lyrics (translator):

A’ la~la la~la~lay - Yuh know not whom
Your friend or enemy be - nor
whose penance will drop a’dime - pon Yuh ..!

Yow … showin’ de’slight minded fools
what - they be
in their cesspool of stupidity
skinnin’ stain-up teeth to alleluria
t’inkin’ dem teck yuh fe bo~bo
betraying Yuh fe nuttin’
more dan - a’ fistful - wow, You then
be friends with everybody’s hypocrisy - as
Your enemy’s duplicity - in most times
is on whom You can count - on
so … if it’s once a day
be aware whom Your friends be - ‘cause
smiles - have covered frowns -- silence - has told sad stories
and the actions of one whom You trust
have been more devastating … than millions moved
so check Your wings’ - longevity
‘cause Yuh never know
the valleys … one will crawl
to HACK ... You down
Yuh JUST never know - Yuh never know ..!

A’ la~la la~la~lay - Yuh know not
the valleys … one will crawl
to HACK ... You down
Yuh JUST never know - Yuh never know ..!


Sekkle … tu’n-ripe breadfruit a’ feisty itself
a’ push-up it smell pon crusty fire wood
an’ nah watch de’turning of its backside
Sis’ta … it is from a stranger
that We find the friendliest deed
out of the unknown – that
a “Hello” an’ a’ “wha’~a’~gwaan” is surprising
also - it’s when YOUR loneliness lingers
that You appreciate old-times and its memories
so in Your goings
show respect to each … You meet
as You know NOT from whose mouth
Your bitter-ed BLOOD will … sweet
also - when Your unconquerable personality - reveals
to have You taking Silence for granted
mindful what plot stupidity plots
‘cause You never know
why stupid things are done
an’ Yuh ‘ave no clue
who will make You
the cause … to SQUASH a fear
Yuh JUST never know - Yuh never know ..!

A’ la~la la~la~lay - Yuh ‘ave no clue
who will make You
the cause … to SQUASH a fear
Yuh JUST never know - Yuh never know ..!


Wise-up to the nightmare of a brother’s hand
that saved You yesterday
to now - sits in company plotting a doubtful today
to Your disbelief - washing the stains
of Your dying blood - this
to satisfy envy - greed - jealousy or hate calculatedly
upon Your dreadful tomorrows
suh … for de’heck-off-it
not knowing for why an’ whom
wants to CUT ... You down - and
having no awareness as to why bad-luck
wants to HACK … You down
You plant all the ‘seeds’
to defend You - as an’ why
Yuh know not whom Your friend or enemy … be - NOR
whose penance will drop a’ dime … pon Yuh
watch Yuh back - if only for de’heck-of-it
‘cause Yuh JUST never know - Yuh never know ..!

A’ la~la la~la~lay - for de’heck-off-it
not knowing for why an’ whom
wants to CUT ... You down - and
having no awareness as to why bad-luck
wants to HACK … You down
You plant all the ‘seeds’
to defend You - as
Yuh JUST never know - Yuh never know ..!


Big-man … if Yuh a’fe do a’do
what … a’do a’fe do
as spoken is the scruples that boils You
note - at the end of a battle
the true champion NEVER rejoices
‘cause their conscience knows - all the deeds
warranted and unwarranted - suh
if at no time - purposely there was a disrespect to You
nuh call-doung the wrath of revenge
pon You consequently
never dive into the silence of the River
‘cause Yuh know not
the snakes embedded within - nor
the volcanoes - timely resting beneath
  ‘cause Your free-strokes might be
the fright that sparks a’ bite
that twirls You unfathomable beneath
some things - sidestep an’ don’t sweat it - sometimes
‘cause Your perspiring anger might be
the pebble that erupts the twirl
that sucks You in
so watch the twigs and leaves - migration
as their knowledge
You might just don’t know - Yuh don’t know
Yuh JUST never know - Yuh never know ..!

A’ la~la la~la~lay - for de’heck-off-it
watch the twigs and leaves – migration
as their knowledge
You might just don’t know - Yuh don’t know
Yuh JUST never know - Yuh never know ..!

A’ la~la la~la~lay - Yuh know not whom
Your friend or enemy be - nor
whose penance will drop a’dime pon Yuh ..!
