Letra de Take Yuh Meat Out Me Rice

A Bajan and a Trinidadian dying with starvation
The Bajan say, look, Trini, let we make a cook
I put the rice, you going put the meatThen we going both have something to eat
But when the pot was nearly to done
The Bajan decide to pull a fast one

He said, Trini, I′m a born Barbadian
I don't like to fight
But when come to the occasion
Man, I stick for my right
You put in a twelve-cents meat bone
You worse than a lice
I going give you a word of advice
Take your meat out my rice

Trini got in a big rage
What wrong with you, Baje
I going tell you flat
Baje, I ain′t taking that!
When we were shopping we both agree
The food will be cook and share equally
I put muh last penny in this meat
And I ain't moving until I eat

Baje say, Trini, I'm a born Barbadian
I don′t like to fight
But when come to the occasion
Man, I diefor my right
You put in a ten-cents meat bone
You think that is nice?
Well don′t make me have to tell you twice
Take yuh meat out my rice!

The Bajan then said to Trini
Man don't tell lies on me
I never told you
That we join and cook up in two
What I mention, I can repeat
I said to lend me a piece of meat
Trini so vex, he begin to cry
Baje, in front my eye you telling a lie?

Baje say, Trini, I′m a born Barbadian
I don't like to fight
But when come to the occasion
Man, I die for my right
Yuh put in a nine-cents meat bone
Good lord, you want half a slice?
If you don′t want a Bajan ice
Take your meat off my rice!"

By this time the pot finish
Trini pick up a dish
The Bajan say, no no, no
Never happen so!
If you wanted something to eat
Man take a fork and pick out your meat
But if you add one grain of rice
By Christ, I squeeze your throat like a vise

Trini, I'm a born Barbadian
I don′t like to fight
But when come to the occasion
Man I die for my right
You put in a eight-cents meat bone
You Trinidadian lice
Before I squeeze you like a vise
Take yuh meat out muh rice!
