Si Wi Dem Nuh Know We - Plot and Lyrical Analysis

Plot and Lyrical Analysis

Si We Dem Nuh Know We is performed entirely in Jamaican Patois and features a heavy base line. Like Informer, all three artists describe a "son" falsely charged with murder. Unlike Informer, Si We Dem Nuh Know We is not a biographical song. Rather, the inspiration for the song came from murder charges levied against Snow's Uncle Patty. As Snow explained, ""It's about an innocent man being charged; anybody who gets falsely accused of a crime."

Famous quotes containing the words plot and, plot and/or analysis:

    “Those blessed structures, plot and rhyme—
    why are they no help to me now
    I want to make
    something imagined, not recalled?”
    —Robert Lowell (1917–1977)

    “There comes a time in every man’s education when he arrives at the conviction that envy is ignorance; that imitation is suicide; that he must take himself for better for worse as his portion; that though the wide universe is full of good, no kernel of nourishing corn can come to him but through his toil bestowed on that plot of ground which is given him to till.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “Cubism had been an analysis of the object and an attempt to put it before us in its totality; both as analysis and as synthesis, it was a criticism of appearance. Surrealism transmuted the object, and suddenly a canvas became an apparition: a new figuration, a real transfiguration.”
    —Octavio Paz (b. 1914)
