Speak My Language Songtext

African hey, Jamaican hey
European hey, Australian hey
Africa, Swahili, Japan, Ichiban
Sending out a message to each and everyone

Aribi-bong, aribi-bong, skeng
Stanishi, stanishi, aribi-bong-beng
Aribi-bong, aribi-bong, skeng
Stanishi, stanishi, aribi-bong-beng

Speaking my language, everybody
Speaking my language, everybody

Hit me with your best shot girl
'Cause I'm a dread from around the world
One world that's my aim
Bad boys and we don't play games

Howdy Partner, ha ha, ting ting
What more appropriate true for Speech to release to and sing
A tune about da language that's distinguishable to some
At the first lick to the low bass line heavy island drums
Pentacostel Tongues, language indescribable unpleasant to the ears
That is unless you're inheritably tribal
Survival is the key to this here dialect family
It's the language that I speak word out to peeps

Aribi-bong, aribi-bong, skeng
Stanishi, stanishi, aribi-bong-beng
Aribi-bong, aribi-bong, skeng
Stanishi, stanishi, aribi-bong-beng

I know I talk strange but my words are true
From the land of Jah I come to you
Look in my eyes can't you see life
In my world all things are real

So jack it up, bring it back, start it again
Let's get together can't we be just friends
So jack it up, bring it back, start it again
Let's get together can't we be just friends

Open me up, Lord, open me up
Split my rib cage wide so I can vocally erupt
Boooom, the circle dat I hang wit da inner wit vibrations of pure love
Dat hit ya smack dab in ya center

Open me up, Lord, open me up
Split my rib cage wide so I can vocally erupt
Boooom, the circle dat I hang wit da inner wit vibrations of pure love
Dat hit ya smack dab in ya center
