GT Tings both of dem is two devils

a rasta man on a bike slowly peddling up the one way
headed in the opposite direction of traffic
his brush cuter and tool bag hanging off the side
he is talking to himself, quite agitated
i can’t hear what he is sayin until he gets a lil closer
you give Black man and Coolie man fuh run a country? You give BLACK man and COOLIE man fuh run a country? Both uh dem is two devils. BOTH UH DEM!! DEVILS! and watch how de white boy got dem. watch how he does got dem. pull dey tail between dey leg when he lashin dey scunt. Devils.
he speaks with disgust as he pedals along
as he slips out of ear shot he starts over again
repeating it with more urgency
You gie BLACK man and COOLIE man fuh run a country? fuh run a whole country? naaah naaah both uh dem is two devils. BOTH UH DEM!! DEVILS!

there are many more like him out there
tired, disgusted, pedaling along
some more urgent than others
