Jamaican Patois - Rastafarian Humor

Jamaican Patois, known locally as Patois (Patwa) or Jamaican, and called Jamaican Creole by linguists, is an EnglishAfrican creole language spoken primarily in Jamaica and the Jamaican diaspora. It is not to be confused with Jamaican English nor with the Rastafarian use of English. The language developed in the 17th century, when slaves from West and Central Africa were exposed to, learned and nativized the vernacular and dialectal forms of English spoken by their masters:

@XmisterIS The official langauge in jamaica is stil english its just that rasta's dont want to speak like their former slave masters so they refuse their langauge and say word different: understand = overstand, opressor = downpressor, politics = politrics, i don't think its literally the same overstand means not just understanding but think what to do next i believe, forgive me for my bad english i am just a dutch men

[DrTouchMe]

He's telling a joke about Bob Marley and one of his friends, at the end the joke turns to uniting all his songs making sense into a sentences.

@XmisterIS I'm Bahamian and I understood this, and I'm schooling in the UK and I can understand the accents :)

[XmisterIS]

I'm English, from London and I don't understand this at all! I understand a few words here and there, and a few parts of sentences, but I have no idea what he's talking about!!!

Would a speaker of Jamaican Patois who'd lived in Jamaica all their life understand the London dialect? (I don't mean "TV cockney", I mean the real thing, spoken in the markets of the East End). Something like "Awaa' guvna, aahs you 'adai, yous ain't arf go'a suw'y luk on y' boat, muckah!"
