    Inna di shape a one “L” pon har forehead

    Well, di years start come an dem nuh stop come
    Fed to di rules an mi hit di ground runnin’
    Nuh make sense fi live without fun
    Yuh brain get smart, but yuh head get dumb
    So much fi do, so much fi see
    So, wah wrong wid takin’ di backstreets?
    Yuh wi never know if yuh nuh go (go)
    Yuh wi never shine if yuh nuh glow

    Hey now, yuh a one all-star
    Get yuh game on, go play
    Hey now, yuh a one rock star
    Get di show on, get paid
    (An all dat glitters a gold)
    Only shootin’ stars break di mold

    It a cool place, an dem seh it get colder
    Yuh bundle up now, wait ‘til yuh get older
    But di meteor men beg fi differ
    Judgin’ by di hole in di satellite picture
    Di ice we skate a gettin’ pretty thin
    Di water a get warm, so yuh might as well swim
    Mi world a blaze, how 'bout yours?
    Dat’s di way mi like it, an mi wi never get bored

    Hey now, yuh a one all-star
    Get yuh game on, go play
    Hey now, yuh a one rock star
    Get di show on, get paid
    (All dat glitters a gold)
    Only shootin’ stars break di mold

    Go fi di moon
    Go, go, go, go fi di moon
    Go, go, go, go fi di moon
    Go, go, go fi di moon

    Hey now, yuh a one all-star
    Get yuh game on, go play
    Hey now, yuh a one rock star
    Get di show on, get paid
    (An all dat glitters a gold)
    Only shootin’ stars

        are you saying this to bait me or are you so obtuse as to think it’s the translating part i have an issue with, and not the “haha look this language is so silly! 🤣 this is better than therapy! 🤣” part

          I agree it has a bad taste because of the historical power structure, but it’s honestly similar to this. Some languages just look funny to English speakers since they are partially mutually intelligible.

            i agree, and maybe in a better world it wouldn’t be racist (it would still be glottophobic tho, but to what degree that is considered problematic depends tbf, “haha french sucks” jokes are glottophobia as well and that seems fine by most people)

            but we do not live in this better world where racial & colonial power structures are irrelevant, so making fun of Jamaican creole and Pidgin (as another commenter in this thread did…) is still fucking racist

      Found a racist who doesn’t want to look inward and think a dialect existing is racist because it sounds silly to them.

        A convenient answer when you consider that clown culture is one of the few that is expressly designed to be laughed at. The other others are not.

        And this deflection hardly addresses the point I was making. It’s like saying “most things don’t like being on fire“ and your response is “what about matches?“

      As I write this, your comment is the lowest rated in the thread and the highest rated comment is someone making the same point but quoting a comedian.

            The only timeless eloquence here is how some people have so little self-control that they cannot help but to incessantly criticizing others, regardless of how little their input is desired.

        Upvote for your cheerful and optimistic view. Perhaps you’re right, and that the benefit outweighs any drawback.
