Hail up and bless up ghetto link up and know she wi nah give up pon di tings weh motive man fi live up. As the saga of transparency, state of emergency and curfew continues ghetto links a try reach down a Tivoli Gardens to talk to a bredren weh name skip shot. Ghetto link caught up with him on Darling Street where he hangs out.

 “Skip shot what a gwaan?

“Mi deh yah inna the Gideon a watch the wicked a perform”.

“Yes man the Gideon red I said”.

“So tell I man, what yuh tink about the whole situation surrounding the Tivoli Garden affair”.

“To tell the truth ennuh Tuffis, is misrepresentation from both political parties over the years pon years taking place right now.”

“Check this, Jamaica is one of the nicest place on the blue planet zeen, with the location and valuation, Jamaica is the richest but unutilized in the world. From the ports of royal to the bluest of mountains. If you want to understand more visit Kingston 1 and the military cemetery. There the richest of European and American nations have rich heritage”.

“High ranking and low ranking military personnel who have given there lives and value to life are buried there, who are not being honored or memorialized by these great nations, Why? Because the governing ministers and minister of tourism are instructing explorers and heritage seekers not to visit Kingston and remember she any weh you and I go in the world the first place we would like to visit is the capital”.

“Dem politician yah in Jamaica nuh have nuh inward true love for the people only the gain of self and friends in high places. All now the reining minister of tourism is not giving account for the U.S $5 per head tourist visitors fee which amounts to J.A $ 60 million  and the nation still a look blind, deaf, and dumb”.

“Hey Tuffis yuh remember dah Bob Andy yah weh name check it out weh him seh, “cuz the rise In the prize is to make more money cuz wi have plenty and minority who sits on top just rate dem self the best but him si the fire flames is getting hotter than hot” and is from inna the 1960s dat and now is computer time, so is time now for the old cabinet to be update to A (counter) ability, cupboards and spacious dining areas”.

“Check out this, retirement age for pensioners in Jamaica is 60yrs right! Tell mi now, how much a dem yuh si in the old cabinet who fly past 60 and still a hold on pon cabinet just like Christ on the sermon on the mount all dem a do is a tell wi seh wi mus bow down and worship dem and al of our own things they will give to us. Fire fi dat B**%# C%@@+ Mi seh all a di whole crockery inna the old cabinet is to be wrapped in news paper, boxed up and put away”.

“Young fresh minds who have visions, loving, caring, masterful in economics and world affairs is at the University of the West Indies and UTECH revving up to be a part of our new horizon and upliftment out of political atrocity and mayhem in the new Jamaica”.

“Look man, this thing affi change for the better of Jamaica’s poorest and downtrodden. Jamaican poorest I would say are the richest because of human resource but because of sell out and mismanagement wi still a linger back. Check this, the 10 cent and 25 cent in the hands of Jamaican poor people is like it has no value. Reason being is dat I cannot in even these hard and trying times I cannot, I repeat, cannot trump up four 25 cent or ten 10 cents to make a dollar to pay on my own public service bus company because the workers are instructed not to take it. Can you imagine dat? But to pay at the water and electric company dat Jamaica no longer owns you have to pay the extra 30 or 50 cents because they make provision to be millions of dollars ahead in 10 and 25 cent, yet you and I cannot make it up to buy a pound of cornmeal or sugar at the corner shop. Check dat?

Is millions of dollars poor people in Jamaica floating around in Jamaica unaccounted for because wi only spend from a dollar upwards as poor people, suh tell mi now wat kinda leaders wi have leading us dat could lead up to all these atrocities inna sweet sweet Jamaica. No sah, dem old crockery inna dis ya old cabinet support free enterprise cuz dem don’t want to be held accountable for anything dat happen to poor people dat vote for dem.

“Check this, thousands of people from all over Jamaica converge downtown Kingston to do free enterprising wid dem 5000, 10,000, 50,000, 100,000 jamaican dollars and look as dem go inna the stores and buy come out  to sell their wears is being taken away by the same system, explain dat? No sumn wrong dat need fi mek right and wi don’t have to fuss or fight. Because in the end of all the fight wi fight one another it is going to be another self inflicted wound”.

“ A which one a our Jamaican prophet did seh dem don’t want to see us living in one togetherness, they just want to see us fighting and killing one another, “Top who” – are you “wha”, so until words of biblical prophecy is full up full on I rastafari a suh mi see dem a gwaan and perform, and people a repeat because all the world bank deal a sell wi get sell again and I a seak up and guh up a Hannah Town guh check Steve so check I anytime, Jah guide and link up”

“And Jah guide you too brejren, bless up yuh self”

Until, love ceaselessly,

Ras Tuffis

Jah guide.
