Danger In Daegu

Published Sep 12, 2011

Carter to Frater to Blake to Bolt


Electrified like ten million volts


For Jamaica shock out in di 4 by 1


Wid an epic mind-blowing world record run

In di 100 metres Bolt false start


Did expect fi get gold but en up wid naught


Blake tek dat as di youngest champ


While Carter falter wid a bad leg cramp

Bolt did vex but seh him never cry


An tek di 200 wid blood in him eye


So we en up wid gold in di 1 an di 2


But in di 4 by 1 what would we do?

Lee did anchor di team in di heat


But fi di final dem ask Usain fi dweet


Di record was ours but could we go faster?


And could we achieve it without Asafa?

Jamaica, USA, France an St. Kitts


Italy, Poland, di Trinis an di Brits


Everybody get set in di starting blocks


Den di gun go off an dem start di clock

Carter tek off like a bullet from a gun


With a scintillating first leg run


Hand over to Frater in di lead


Who run wey lef dem at top speed

Smooth handover, no mistake


Pass di baton to Yohan Blake


But when Yohan pass to Usain


Dat's when things did get insane

For Darvis Patton of di USA


Run up inna Great Britain's Harry AA


Lose him balance an kin pupa lick


En up pon di ground an drop di stick

Leaving Walter Dix empty handed


Down di track alone an stranded


Tragedy fi USA an fi Dix


But in di meantime rumpus inna lane six

For di way Usain tek off was frightening


No wonder people call him lightning


And di way him accelerate an was a move


Is like him did have something to prove

Di man was focused an intense


An gi di man dem a donkey lengths


Between him and the next man was such space


Is like dem was a run two different race

Bolt blaze di track an run through di line


An Jamaica get gold in record time


Faster dan any had run before


In 37.04

The only record in Daegu dat bruk


Only Jamaicans pose beside di clock


Ending di games pon a grand climax


Creating history pon di track

And di last anthem dat dem did play


Was di one from di island of JA


A so we dweet, chat bout, dun know, naa mean


Big up di black an gold an green
