Could you explain some vocabulary that is written in so slang a way that is impossible to catch it, please.
Regards,
Pawel
(
Intro:)
Ever blazin', ever blazin' girl...
Blazin up the place, blazin up the flame
Ever blazin', ever blazin' girl...
Yo...
(Chorus:)
As the world turns and as time burns girl you know I'm gonna be there My love is ever blazin, ever blazin girl and you know it naw go change As the world turns and as time burns girl you know I'm gonna be there My love is ever blazin, ever blazin girl and you know it never fades away

(Verse 1:)
There's no pretending..Girl I say my love is never ending From we used to par just like a friend thing...
Up until now me a tell you say
A you fi be the queen, I and I man a your said thing Well a one thing the dutty Paul is requesting
Keep up to date cause you a the best thing
Girl you know your lifestyle well interesting
That's why the dutty's investing
(Chorus)
(Verse 2:)
Because me admire you..But me no shy of you
She from the day me hire you...Me know me naw fire you Girl a long time the dutty rock a desire you
Woman you know sey you hot and you a spit fire too Bill Gates, Donald Trump them a require you
In a the Pentium five them waan wire you
Make them know you a real frequent flyer too
Like a trophy inna me bed you know me waan retire you

(Chorus)

[/nq] It's impossible to explain or translate such lyrics. They don't say much, they use slang made up for the occasion and are more concerned with the rhythm than the content. Basically there is a hot girl and a bloke promises his undying love because he wants her so.

Yo, Black bro,
I agree with John: dealing with a "pidgin" like that won't help you learn Standard English, as some words may be artistic neologisms or come from many different dialects. But if you're genuinely interested in the issue you may consult books on Carribean English or American slang, depending on what dialect/sociolect/creole he really uses in his lyrics.
Linguistic prejudice is
