Chapter 45

Di Biggest Wins Luhk Like Dem Nuh Done Yet

大成若缺,其用不弊。大盈若冲,其用不穷。
大直若屈,大巧若拙,大辩若讷。
躁胜寒,静胜热。清静为天下正。
When di biggest wins come, it look like dem still need more, but dem neva fail. When yuh buss wide open, it look empty, but it neva run out. When yuh straight true, it look bow, but e really straight. When yuh real smart, it look rough, but e di smartest. When yuh real can talk, it look like yuh cyaa, but yuh di best talker. War mek cold run go, still mek heat run go. Keep yuhself clean and still, and dat mek all tings right inna di world.
