Lock Dem Dub (Colli Bann's Tribute)

Yuh nuh reason wid dem badman dem! Yuh haffi set dem dung a court, seen! An’ NO WAY, mon! Mi nuh forgive NUNN a dem weh deh up inna high place—media, politics, club, office, anyweh—weh help do dem totalita-rian crime dem! Mi nuh waan no fix-up talk. Mi nuh waan discuss wid him. Mi nuh waan negotiate wid unu. Mi nuh waan forgive him, cah dem people dem join up inna big crime ‘gainst humanity, an’ dem know seh dem ha’ di office, di law, an’ di police a dem back! Dem know seh it wrong, but dem still kick, dem still hate, dem still send people dung a bad road! Dem keep mi madda lock up one whole year inna isolation till she dead! Dem terrorize mi, dem terrorize mi fam’ly. Dem force people fi tek untest’ vaccine dem! Dem do some heavy, heavy crime, an’ now dem a bawl an’ a beg fi fix-up, forgiveness, an’ chat! But check dis, mi a siddung yah so. Mi a tell unu, next time dem get a chance, when dem feel safe fi gwaan ‘gainst weak, helpless people—fi kick dem, fi cuss dem, fi snitch dem—dem a go do di SAME TING AGAIN! EXACT SAME TING! Yuh nuh reason wid dem baldhead badman, yuh haffi carry dem straight a court! Neva forgive, neva forget, mon!
