Ah-MERIkAN by Steven Jagnarain

Me ah ‘merican!
Born and raised.
Never see donkey,
Or even cow graze.

Me ah ‘merican!
Never gone sick.
Docta deh carna,
He cure any trick

Me ah ‘merican!
Never cross one bridge.
Fah wata deh in pipe,
And food deh in fridge

Me ah ‘merican!
Never will lack.
When shoes deh pan foot,
And shut deh pan back.

Me ah ‘merican!
Never will shame.
When meh fall down hard,
Playin video game.

Me ah ‘merican!
Bound to skip skool.
To troe down meh books,
And gone to play pool.

Da bai ah ‘merican!
Coolies seem to say.
He turn out bad,
But born in USA.!
