"Want fi goh rave"
(LKJ. 1979)
Great song about the hardness of life and how broken youth dealt with it.
LKJ sings it in jamaican patwa but it's easily understandable, or at least guessable.
Enjoy.

These lyrics really were a game changer for teenage me.

Something about Mondays: another great morning on the farm, harvesting plum and cherry tomatoes, kohlrabi, cleaning onions and squash, talking cooperation and relationships, making little videos. I had the pleasure of introducing Jay to the dub poetry of #LKJ and the complex marriage of the #Oneida Community. And this afternoon a great co-op development conversation with the operator of a hair salon.
