Echoes

Crawl into my skin
see where I am coming from,
an individual
not a statistic.

Crawl inna mi skin
si weh mi a come from
a long time mi a travel
da road yah.

mashe sew po mwen
whe kote mwen soti

admire my tenacity
first free from slavery still struggling.

Gatear dentro mi piel
Mire de donde yo vengo

Different countries, common goals
woven together in a web of humanity
Alike but different. Nothin' nuh wrong wid dat.

Mi a add to yuh culture
Mi nah tek nothing from it

Di Junkanoo beat inna mi blood
Junkanoo, Bachanal, Festival, Carnival
all off the same slave ship.
Focus
and
crawl inna mi skin
mashe soo po mwen

gatear dentro mi piel

Crawl into my skin.>
