Gullah Boi

[JABOOM]

I’m usually “well spoken”



“Articulate”



“A Strong speaker”



“A Verbal Genius”



But sometimes more often then not that Gullah speak steps in



My lips fold a different way



My tongue twists against my teeth



And different foreign sounds come out



Hey becomes Ay



How becomes Ow



Are Vanishes



You stays U



But doing turns into Doen



My speech isn’t all that changes



My walk sways



My legs go from a little Pigeon toed to full on Bows



My head is always held high but now with a bit of a right lean



And I say strange (to some) Phrases



Git knotted oda de hed lite a bud frond ea tre



=



Get knock over the head like a mad bird flying from a tree to attack a passer



Many people become confused



Others undermined my intellect (big mistake cause you F-in with a mind of brilliants)



Somwon tresh mene



=



Some want to test me



And a few think it’s sexy



You from the island



I start laughing they just keep smiling



Nah eyes from Sahanna badey



By da a Hil-ton Hed



Gullah Geechee n de blud



=



No I’m from Savannah baby



By way of Hilton Head



I’m Gullah and we speak Geechee



And that’s a deep root of my family’s blood




Oh and my Gul lite da we Mi tal-

JABOOM
