I’ma tell you about a dream, that I had last week
Would call it a nightmare, but that sounds kinda weak
I was riding the Hounslow to Central on the tube,
When I met this rude dude, who said he saw me on youtube
I was wearing flip flops on the way to charity shops,
And the guy next to me, had a jar of green frogs
He said “I don’t mean to be disrespecting,”
But why are rastas like you carrying weapons”
I laughed, “Nah we’re not jamacian,
just ‘cus we down the road from Kingston.
I told him “It’s not an arm to do harm,
It’s for defensive means through love and charm”
I questioned him, “whats your favourite book?”
and All I got back was a really weeeird look
“Reading? That’s for dumb guys!”
At that exact moment I realised,
That although the guy looked like he was well-fed
His mind was staved of intellectual bread
Then I told him. Like a old man told me
“I’m a old man in a young man’s body”…
He shared his inadequacies and flaws he was feeling
He was breaking all the social laws, till the ceiling
Collapsed! Which it did.
A backpack and bushy beard,
wasn’t all they feared!
Flashing lights stronger than Kanye’s
Made the whole carriage start to runaway!
Next thing I saw was a thunderous blast
The carriage shook from side to side, real fast,
All I heard then was people up and down screaming,
The rude dude asked me…. “what was life’s meaning?”
But I could reply, I was woken by the morning
Jumped out of bed and as I brushed my teeth, yawning,
I thought about the rude dude searching reality,
I started to assess what really mattered to me
Reaching for the phone, or food in the kitchen
I’m looking at the closest home for my restrictions
I can’t be that trapped green frog in the jar,
I need to find the king within… and search close and far.
