The Structure of Words written by Sheldon Manoo (1994)

Ballad Soca Mood

Wha is de difference if Ah say Ah love Yuh
Than if I said I love you
What made word pronunciation and formation so important to the way that people live
What makes you feel that it ain't right or formal or courteous,what does it give?
High society, low society what's the boundary of speech for?
So why Ah mus write de song in tha way for?
Ah just doh understand de things about de way that de people talk
Wha next some fool go come up with how we walk?
       Tell me, tell me
        Don't you think it's absurd
        The great ideal about
         The structure of words
Personally how people talk doh make ah big difference to me
As long as it is the Lord Love and themselves that they do believe
Cause God ain't got no discrimination
Why must humans have any one
They come with race discrimination
They come with sex discrimination
Age, class, style, beliefs ,all kinda discrimination
Now they coming with speech discrimination
Buh I wha Yuh listen up everyone
There's no reason to have none
As long as you understand wha Ah saying
Ain't that is de main thing
So people just accept these strange words
It means the same to others you heard
And doh leh meh hear de crap discrimination
As long as we always follow the Good One!

(Pan Music)

Do what's the difference if I say I love you
Than if Ah say Ah love Yuh!
