| If I woz a tap-natch poet | |
| Like Chris Okigbo | |

| Ar T.S.Eliot | |
| Ah woodah write a poem | |
| Soh dam deep | |
| Dat it bittah-sweet | |
| Like a precious | |
| Memory | |
| Whe mek yu weep | |
| Whe mek yu feel incomplete | |
| Like wen yu lovah leave | |
| An dow defeat yu kanseed | |
| Still yu beg an yu plead | |
| Till yu win a repreve | |
| An yu ready fi rack steady | |
| But di muzik done aready | |
| Still | |
| Inna di meantime | |
| Wid mi riddim | |
| Wid mi rime | |
| Wid mi ruff base line | |
| Wid mi own sense a time | |
| Goon poet haffi step in line | |
| Caw Bootahlazy mite a gat couple touzan | |
| But Mandela fi im | |
| Touzans a touzans a touzans a touzans | |
| If I woz a tap-natch poet | |
| Like Kamau Brathwaite | |
| Martin Carter | |
| Jayne Cortez ar Amiri Baraka | |
| Ah woodah write a poem | |
| Soh rude | |
| An rootsy | |
| An subversive | |
| Dat it mek di goon poet | |
| Tun white wid envy | |
| Like a candhumble/ voodoo/ kumina chant | |
| A ole time calypso ar a slave song | |
| Dat get ban | |
| But fram granny | |

| Soh beautiful dat it simple | |
| Like a plain girl | |
| Wid good brains | |
| An nice ways | |
| Wid a sexy dispozishan | |
| An plenty compahshan | |
| Wid a sweet smile | |
| An a suttle style | |
| Still | |
| Mi naw goh bow an scrape | |
| An gwan like a ape | |
| Peddlin noh puerile parchment af etnicity | |
| Wid ongle a vaig fleetin hint af hawtenticity | |
| Like a black Lance Percival in reverse | |
| Ar even worse | |
| A babblin bafoon whe looze im tongue | |
| No sah | |
| Nat atall | |
| Mi gat mi riddim | |
