Meaning
To perceive, realize, or come to spiritual understanding — to 'see' a truth with the inner eye. In Rasta reasoning, to 'sight up' something is to grasp its deeper meaning; 'yuh sight?' asks 'do you see / understand?' and 'seen' (I see) is the common agreement. It is about spiritual insight and awakening, not just physical sight.
