I'm neither proud nor ashamed of the knowledge- it's just part of common knowledge in my neighborhood.

"so go on and have your fun
I man can wait til my day come
cos any man who try hard will succeed
just practise -
one one cocoa full basket"

"one one cocoa full basket" is an old time ja saying meaning "be happy that you have enough" - if you have one cocoa your basket is full enough! Gregory is saying that he can get through as long as he remembers this.
I was refering to my knowledge about crack jordan, not yours! was worried i was sounding a little TOO knowledgable on this unsavoury subject...but yeah i grew up around these things too no biggie

sorry that's "i work can wait til my day come"

is it true that gregogy wished to be in love with the night nurse, but he was afraid to tell her?

Mmh! Rumours are spreadin'? But Greg did it? NAH TRUE!!? NIGHTNURSE (Crackin' cocaine)

the Radics and Gregory had a huge opportunity with this album.....its more ironic than imaginable that the collective success of this project crashed in large part to the "night nurse". At least we have some wonderful tunes to listen to from these times. I try not to dwell on the negative

too much of a anything is never good.

ah what could have been.........I will discuss this in a separate thread..

To all the naysayer/Redeye's out there who posted about Gregory and his PERSONAL problems i hope you are happy now the man is gone you can discuss your negative ramblings and put downs of a man who like many in this world had his share of problems but unlike many in this world was a fantastic singer/songwriter. Go ahead voice your opinions now will it make you feel better NO but it will blacken the memory of an icon of reggae who deserves better from people like us who mostly have it pretty easy in our western suburban paradises.

I think it refers to a prostitute/hooker. Although I can see the cocaine reference too

Every single person in here is wrong.

Night Nurse means a Prostituted Or Sex.

How in the world Night Nurse be referenced to cocaine? unbeliever.

who dress as nurse? and on night? unless she nurse or is she??

c'mom people...... too many crackhead in here, trying to make excuse for them addiction. so they see every song as crack song.......... stupids

Red-light district all day all night baby.....and don't need no doc to cure my addiction. Just call nurse with big booty, she knows what to do with it.

prostituted???
it's a LOVE song, about a man craving for love/sex , so he want his woman to come by at night and heal him...

or in plain english... he want to spend the night with a girl
