The song "Kind to Dem" by Agent Sasco is a commentary on the tendency of some people to take advantage of those who are kind to them. The song begins by stating that the singer has never been blind to these people, but rather kind to them, always giving them what they ask for. However, the singer recognizes that these people have a "dutty heart" and that bad mind is what motivates them. The verses proceed to detail some of the ways in which these people try to exploit the singer, such as wanting the other dollar when given 99 or making plans to take possessions. The chorus emphasizes that these people have a "dutty heart" and are "evilous," always working towards their own gain at the expense of others.
Throughout the song, Agent Sasco uses a mix of Jamaican Patois and English to convey his message. He also references various nursery rhymes such as Humpty Dumpty, which creates a sense of universality in the song's message. The repeated use of the phrase "dutty heart" further emphasizes the singer's contempt for those who would take advantage of him.
Overall, "Kind to Dem" provides a strong commentary on the prevalence of bad mind and the importance of standing up for oneself. It also showcases Agent Sasco's skillful use of language and metaphors to convey a message.
