Flashlight at Midnight

Devon drive him cousin car down Spanish Town Road Late shift done, him a carry home a load Blue light a flash where di street lamp gone Four man inna vest and di night come on Four man inna vest and di night come on Light inna him eye, him cyaan see who a talk Dem seh step outta di vehicle, slow when yuh walk Him heart a knock louder than a sound system drum Him think bout him madda and di text weh never come Him think bout him madda and di text weh never come Dem search under di seat and dem open up di trunk Dog a bark somewhere and a gate go clunk Every window pon di lane have a curtain pull back Nobody seh a word inna di silence and di black Nobody seh a word inna di silence and di black Licence! Papers! Long, long minute Nobody breathe Dem wave him through and dem never seh why Him drive two mile fi let him hands stop shake Reach home, siddung, watch di morning sky Same road again tomorrow, fi him family sake
