Big Mouth

Big Mouth, your speech is no' ready,
you wrote it down, but the words are so heavy,
you tried to heave them about in your belly,
shut up your mouth, and go home, you're no' ready!

*"Stop, c'mon, don't waste your time",
you're not an artist as an artist sees light,
you're throwing up, regurgitating and whining,
same thing, time after time.

      it's a nod to The Mighty Macka diamond on the Fiesta riddim, singing 'Sound Bwoy'

      I can't find that online, but here's the riddim with Ms Thing

      *edit/actually, I'm wrong about the riddim, but I'm too lazy to look for it right now: I'll get back to you xx


      re; ppp: it could be me! (if I didn't know any better/like how to keep quiet sometimes is a good thing)

          you know/Little Dragon shows us-this (communication through the 'I') is how it's done, for real

          that's just my opinion---and certainly not worth writing a dialogue for, or anything play-like---that might have the likes of Pinter to Plath turning in their graves *somber*

          as it's already been/being done [to death?] already

          I'd rather copy [to remember] reggae, as you can see!

          must've been a birthright-power thing that made me post that *wrong* link *strokeschin*

      oh, you're sharp, Floorboards! I am Scottish. Very Scottish, although I live in Barcelona, my accent seems to have got broader...and angrier sounding! haha

      thanks for reading my wee rant.
