"Accent"

#tag "Accent" Verse 1 English is the international tongue Spoken by the old spoken by the young Official language in so many lands From Canada Australian sands New Zealand USA in the mix and too many to list Even in England the voices divide Different parts on the inside London Cockney Liverpool Scouse Different sounds in every single house A Mancunian flow doesn't sound the same But it's all English in this rap game Hook So why is it you can't understand me My words are English plain as can be Not speaking Japanese on this track It’s English with an accent pushing it back Verse 2 40 years deep living English life Right here in Manchester through the strife You're official speakers but you're so blind If someone's not local you lose your mind You can’t decode a different sound Struggling in your own language running around Look at history check the roots and the strain English is a mix inside the brain It’s made of German Dutch and French too So what the fuck is wrong with you Why can’t you understand the words I say I spin these phrases every single day Hook So why is it you can't understand me My words are English plain as can be Not speaking Japanese on this track It’s English with an accent pushing it back Verse 3 English has the most accents on earth A global network since its birth Forget the complaints you're making today Open your ears to the bars I spray Remove those obstacles straight from your ear Stop letting an accent stop you from hearing clear Listen through the voice listen to the soul A French master taking control No auto tune filters no digital mask Exposing the ignorance is my task On the mic keeping it real Now you know exactly how I feel Outro Stop the whining about accents. 40 years in Manchester The language is known Manc flow French soul Peace
