Who a di owna fi di ile? - 'Dub Poetry' ~ Patois

[DJRevvyC]

IF NONE OF U UNDERSTAND WHAT THE RASTA MAN IS SAYING :TRANSLATION... NO 1 OWNS THE OIL SO WHY ARE WE SELLING IT ????

[angelcode777]

Some ignoranat dumb ass whose natural tendency is to immediately look down on anyone who is not American/European doesn't care to have a clue what the guy said. This poem is more relevant than anything Shakespeare ever said. Jamaicans are more versed in world affair than many in their complacent 'first-world' countries.

Hey everyone, I am of Jamaican descent & have translated the whole poem into english. If anyone wants to view it link below as there is not enough space to do it in the comment box. Ive done it as best as I can and it seems longer than the actual spoken word, but some Jamaican phrases sound so little but mean so much !!!

Enjoy use put the h t t p : / / infront of the link
