Mama from Richmond Station by JONCRO

Kuh, mih pickney dem,
How dehn suffah
Stripped a dehn identity
Dehhn home
An dem dignity
Taken fram mih by di trade winds a fate
Acrass the worl to every kahna.
Beaten, bowed, an dispossessed,
Mahkdd by dih sands of time.
But tru all a oonu suffahring
Know dis.
No mattah how far mih deh fram oonu
An oonu fram mih in dih flesh
Mi spirit shall always bih wid oonu
Pushing oonu forward
And watchin ovah oonu
Fah oonu mih pickney a noh fallen bud inna dih jungle a life
But lepads inna di Savanna waitin fih strike
No mek nutten black oonu way
As mih watch oonu fram dih sky
An wen oonu sole is weary
Know,
Dat dis yah island wih always bih oonu home.
