My Mother Sings of How She Got Her Education
at the cross, she catch wise,
like the cedars of Lebanon
and speak King James English
good good
how you mean seh you cyaan understan?
Him whom have hears to ear
mek him ear
and he whom cyaan ear mus feel
Babylon throne mus fall
Blessed is the old time religion
it was good for Paul and Silas
it was good for Snoop and Stormzy
it was good for Chance the Rapper
it was good for my mother
good for my father
so it’s good enough for me.
