    jus like inna nursery rime

    before piggy tun swine

    an evrybody tink mi cool an deadly



    nottn yu coulda seh

    woulda mek mi tek it awf

    an if yu get mi nervos

    ah voulda jus lawf it awf

    an evrybody tink mi cool an deadly



    but not soh long ago

    ins like inna pitcha show

    whey di hero get a blow

    mi spirit get vex

    an mi get soh ressless

    dat mi get careless

    an goh bare mi mawgah chess

    dat it mek outa glaas

    dat di whole wide worl coulda si

    rite dung to di vien inna mi awt

    wen yu cyaan fine di rime fi fit di beat

With LKJ, it's a lot of work to decipher the lyrics. Here's the best I can make out so far. 



Once upon a time

just like in a nursery rhyme

before piggy turn swine

me did wear

for my fear

on my face

like a shield

like a mask

an everybody think me cool and deadly



Nothing you could have said

would have make me take it off

and if you get me nervous

I woulda just laughed it off

an everybody think me cool and deadly



But not so long ago

just like in a picture show

where the hero gets a blow

me spirit gets vexed

an me get so restless

that me get careless

and go bare me mawgah(?) chest



Me never even think

that things are make outta glass

that the whole wide world coulda see

right down to the feeling in my heart

how them twist-up

how them tie-up

how them tight-up

oh my heart

how it cut-up

how it craw-up

how it scar-up



It's a hard act to master you know

this smiling and skining your teeth

when your heart swell up so till you feel it gonna bust

when you can't find the rhyme to fit the beat

when you can't find the answer for the puzzle complete.



So (?) me take off me mask

and start for wear dark glass

but every so often

me have to take it off

and every now and then

me find me last

onnu(?) ever

see me trial

see me crosses?
