Our Slangs
BREAD CAART, RICE CAART, BUBBLE GUM CAART
WORDS OF CONFUSION, WRONG INTERPRETATION
COMMUNICATION FROM FOUNDATION, FROM WE AFRICAN LAND
COMBINATION OF MORE THAN ONE NATION
CREATED THE CONNECTION FOR OUR SOCIALIZATION
AND IT WRONG, BUT IS YOUR INTREPRETATION
BUBBLEGUM CAART BREAD CAART, RICE CAART
INDEPENDENCE, STATES THE POWER TO CONTROL ITS OWN DOMESTIC AND
EXTERNAL AFFIRES.
AND SOME OF US STILL FACING “PARPARISATION”
BUT WHAT ABOUT WE SLANGS?
WELL I DON’T NEED ANY INDEPENDENT FOR THIS ONE.
RICE CAART, BUBBLE GUM CAART BREAD CAART
NEAR AND FAR, FOREIGNERS AND LOCAL,
GLEANERS, OBSERVERS AND STARS
WHEN THE WORDS FLOW THE MIND GLOWS, FROM FLAT TONGUES, ROUND
TONGUES, LONG TONGUES, SHORT TONGUES, EVEN NARROW TONGUES
FROM CHINESE, JAPANESE, ASIANS, AMERICANS, ITALIANS, ANY NATION
IT IS TOTALLY DIFFERENT FROM A JAMAICAN
THIS IS OUR SLANG!
WE HAVE TO SMILE EVERY TIME THEY TRY TO PRONOUNCE THE SLANG
NUH, TRUE MAN AND WOMAN?
BREAD CAART, RICE CAART, BUBBLE GUM CAART
BECAREFUL WITH THE PRONUNCIATION CHART
WRONG INTERPRETATION CAUSES CONFUSION
THE PASTE THE TONE THE ARTICULATION
AND THE BREATHING GIVES A DIFFERENT MEANING
STICK TO THE ROOTS, WORDS OF COMMUNICATION
CREATING THE CONNECTION FOR OUR SOCIALIZATION
AND IT WRONG, BUT IS YOUR WRONG INTERPRETATION
INTERPRETATION CAUSING THE CONFUSION
