Bad English – DJ Nicholas
Intro:
So by now you should realize that I really like mathematics.
Some persons may wonder, so what about English?
Told dem me neva really have English
As a matter of fact
Some may even thing I speak bad English
Verse 1
Mih used to determined now me determi-na
Fih tell how God change a vermin ya
Use hyssop do dah purgin’ ya
‘im heal me from spiritual hernia
Hell is where I was deservin’ of
Working hard, was earnin’ a
Place fi go burn ina
God anoint me and send me pon tha jorney ya, whether me talk
Chorus:
Good English or bad English
Patois (Patwa) or standard English
At the end ah the day only the blood ah Jesus mek me from the sinner distinguish
Good English or bad English
Patois (Patwa) or standard English
Noh matta how eloquent yuh speak
Still cyaa mek hell fyah extinguish
Verse 2
Mih used to go school, fi go learn in a
Every year I spent two term in a
Classes, I was burnin’ a
When a Masters I shoulda have been earnin’a
Woulda do better if me save little early’a
Thank di Lahd mih heart he mek ah turn in a
Hell degree coulda burn hotter than a third in a
Plus me all hear, it have worm ina
As a pilgrim, the land I sojourn ina
Fuh warn the people bout the trouble weh the world ina
as a judge God returnin’ a
Me cahn believe this a weh them concern ina, if me talk
Verse 3
God neva like when Israel murmur ina
Bout Moses mek them struggle futher’a
Him choose fi deliver them with a murder’a
Fi show them the promised land that were betta
God gimme energy fi input a surge ina
Fi preach the word me input a earth ina
We a d salt a the world church we a serve ina
Bread of life we use and served ina
A place fih the devil hell was reserved ina
Christ a the rock we should stand firm ina
If God kingdom have pure winner
Then unu help me preach out tha sermon ya, whether you talk
Well yu know, I wish that I was speaking standard English
As a little children (might or well)
Ih no matter what the sinners have done
And now the Lord can still forgive them, cleanse them, and fill them
I may not always be grammatically correct
But once me have the blood a Christ me connect
And of course we highly value education
But what is even more important is to the Lord having dedication
Getting a spiritual renovation
I’m in a preaching more
I need my own tele-station
Mih good fuh gaan VALUME!
Good english or bad english
You know I really like this
Good english or bad english
Tana thank you fuh help me and write this
Good english or bad english
And I’m not saying anything is wrong with education
Good english or bad english
Lord help me to preach despite of my vocabularilization
