Lets Dance. No Daggering

Poem by Rasuli
photo originally by Smithsonian Photography Initiative

Sum a dubbling
Other shuffling
Sum ah bubbling
Sum ah muscling in

But nun uh daggering
ca dat no rhatid

The night brings man and wombman come a dance
Music take dem higher into a trance
And just irieness a flow
Nuh cut inna de creft
Nuh blow cleans one catty
Both dem a chant

Sum a twirling
Other gyrating
Sum ah swirling
Sum ah waltzing

Ital love we a deal wid
Bak way wid de nuclear

De water pumpie
De fire house rock
De Africa harvest dance
De Carribean step
Jazzy mellow blues
Any move will do
Just do it anyhow
No rules no vows

Sum a whirling
Others grooving
Sum ah swinging
Sum ah moving

If you a dagga
move uh wid your slacka

Granson to Granpops
Having some fun
Good vibes, good times
Ditter no romp wid daddy
It's paradise brought back to the poor people
DeeJay ball out nuh misnomer

Sum a dubbling
Other shuffling
Sum ah bubbling
Sum ah muscling in

What you see is what you get
