letra de no more no vernacular - bantu (crew)

[verse 1: don abi]
learn how fi read and write and your future shall be bright
learn how fi read and write and your future shall be
inna the roots of the djelly we no need no oxford study
dem born we fi oppose di with lyrical potency
ask we an then we hafi tell it
force we then you get the opposite
like ebi n’ pa mi : that a hunger a catch we
e fun wa l’odu: that a fun fi di posse
man mi long time we no see

[chorus]
no more no vernacular teacher no teach me nonsense

[verse 2: tesiree]
i am so proud of my african features
and the blessings of many tongues
hey now lend me your ear
give the youngster a reason
to read and to write
to take over now
see time has changed us all
and yes those days are gone let’s celebrate

[chorus]
no more no vernacular teacher no teach me nonsense

[verse 3: ade bantu]
gave me a language forced me not to speak tongue in my own dialect, intellect
trace my roots down to ancient egypt
d.n.a of the mighty menelik
ain’t no one gonna tell me that my language ain’t pure
war, is what i wage against my people moving round in colonial circles
mentality of inferior complex, complexion, d-mn information
how many time must we bleach our skin?
walk american, talk european?
whatz up, whatz up? noting dey down
took your english and broke it in pieces
reinterpret, rearranged it
put some african to make it all lively

[bridge]
yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
go down now and shake your thing

[chorus]
no more no vernacular teacher no teach me nonsense
