I figure I’d post in here since it’s a popular music thread.

Anyway, I’m working on this novel/series of novels and there’s this society of people/culture that’s loosely based on the jamaican/rastafari island kind of feel. I’ve been listening to a lot of island reggae lately and learning how they pronounce and speak their version of english. I’m starting to get some of the stuff down (with the help of online lyrics), but there’s some stuff I just can’t understand or decipher the meaning of. I was wondering if there’s anyone in here that’d be able to help me with some specific stuff. I’m not going to bother posting it in the thread, but if someone who can translate some of the stuff for me that comes from the island or has a good understanding of the language, send me a PM over srk or message me over AIM at WildKittyv1

but specifically, right now I’m having trouble figuring out what skirf means

this is the line provided from a lyrics website:
No boy neva mek ya skirf whe you rest yuh head

There’s some other stuff, but I won’t clutter the post with it. Also looking for some good reggae artists that I probably haven’t heard yet. I have a bunch of the more widely known stuff right now, but looking for some other stuff for reference material.
