Don Cross Dah Line
Don cross dah line young man
For you caan see dae other side
Yu plate alreadae full
With rep fruits fit fo dae king
I say, hol on. Don yu cross dah line
Even dae dog know how big a bone to chew
Yea time rushing by like dae wind
But today nat for you
Take yur time enjoh dae flavor
Sofly, sofly you gon reach
To dae place where yu s’pose to be
Now eat wha before yu savor each rep fruit
‘Cause once yu cross dah line
yu ain know wha dae be servin
African American/Liberian(pidgin English)
