Jamaica's 23rd Psalm

My aunt said this to me and I was rollin. I'm sure other people have heard it, but I thought I'd share this as my thought for the day.


The Lord ah mi one boss, and mi nuh fi want nutt'n.

Ah Him ah prevent mi from tell people 'bout dem bumboclaat everyday.

Ah Him ah gimme peace, when so-so madness a gwan roun' mi.

Ah Him ah remine mi fi pray and fi do everyting widout complain, murmur or
kiss mi teet.

Ah Him ah remine mi dat ah Him, noh mi job, ah mi source, although lickle
more pay woulda nice.

Ah Him ah 'top mi from mad a daytime, an' ah guide mi decision dem so mi
can honor Him inna hev'ryting.

Ah Him ah prevent mi from shoot up di whole raass place, an' tun' all mi
supervisor dem inna some bloodclaat duppy, so mi no haffi go ah prison an'
live 'mongst ah bag ah battyman or get heng to raass.

Even though mi get one whole heap of fu*kry e-mail, fool fool deadline fi
work wid, have some co-worker dem whey a chat mi behine mi back, some big
heediat fi supervisor, an' ah howl body dat kyaan' mek it a mo

mi nah give up because Him deh wid mi!

Him presence, Him peace, an' Him power ah go si mi through.

Ah Him ah raise mi up, even when di heediat dem nah promote mi hard working
raass, though mi have three set a degree an' diploma.

Ah Him claim mi as fi Him own, even when di company ah threaten fi fiah mi
an' me ah threaten fi light wan fiah an' bun di whole raas place ah grung.

Fi Him faithfulness an' love betta dan any bonus check, but yu si mi, a
check woulda help out some time.

Fi Him retirement plan betta dan every pension plan outta road, but mek
anybady try rob this pussyhole place yah an yuh see wha 'appen out yah
tiday: Suhmaddy bettah pussyclaat run to bloodclaat!

When unnu done talk; Ah Him mi ah go wuk fah fi wan long raas time.

So Tank Yuh Lord
Amen! Hallelujiah
