Jeremiah Grumble
Da One In Charge, you wen make me tink az good I talk fo you,
An I wen lissen you.
You mo strong den me, az why you win.
Peopo make fun a me all day.
Dey all stay laugh at me.
Cuz weneva I talk,
I gotta yell, an tell,
“Eryting goin get bus up an wipe out!”
Az why, weneva I tell wat Da One In Charge tell me,
Da peopo ony stick tongue an laugh at me all day.
But if I tell, “I no goin even tink bout Da One In Charge!
I no goin talk fo him no moa!”
Den, da tings he like me tell stay inside me,
Jalike one fire stay burn inside me!
Jalike my bones burning up inside.
I stay tired from hold um inside.
I no can hold um inside no moa.
10 I hear plenny guys talk sof kine,
Dey tell, “Dis Jeremiah, da ‘stay real sked’ guy—
We go tell on him.”
Even all my frenz stay wait fo me fo tell someting wrong.
Dey tell, “Maybe us guys can trick Jeremiah!
Den we can win, an get back at him!”
 
11 But Da One In Charge, he stay wit me
Jalike one skery kine army guy.
Az why da guys dat like give me hard time,
Dey goin trip an fall down.
Dey no goin win.
Dey goin come real shame.
Tings no goin come good fo dem.
Nobody goin foget dat dey get shame all da time.
12 Da One In Charge, you da God Ova All Da Armies.
You tes da peopo dat do da right ting.
You know how dey feel an how dey tink.
I like see you pay back dose odda guys,
Cuz I wen tell you eryting bout da problem I get.
 
13 Eh erybody! sing to Da One In Charge!
Tell good stuff bout Da One In Charge!
Da peopo dat no mo nobody fo help dem, he get dem outa trouble,
So da bad kine guys no mo da powa fo hurt dem.
 
14 Still yet, I like put kahuna on top da day I wen born!
I like fo notting good happen dat day wen my muddah wen born me!
15 I like put kahuna on top da guy dat tell my faddah dat I wen born.
He make my faddah come real good inside,
Cuz he tell, “You get one boy!”
16 I like fo da guy dat tell my faddah I born, come jalike Sodom an Gomorrah towns,
Dat Da One In Charge wen wipe um out an no show pity!
I like dat guy hear peopo stay crying morning time,
An army guys stay yelling fo fight noon time!
17 I mad cuz dat guy neva kill me wen I inside my muddah.
Fo me stay inside my muddah, an make my grave dea.
18 How come I wen born?!
Fo shua, az ony fo get trouble an stay sad inside!
Ony fo come shame till I mahke!
