Real Lyrics -> Bad Grammar in Song Lyrics -> Salt n Pepa
Song lyrics aren't supposed to be a fountain of perfect english, but on the other hand some are just so atrocious, they need to get called out. We're not looking for sentance fragments or the word ain't since there are too many instances to count.
Bad Grammar in Song Lyrics, Salt n Pepa

Salt n Pepa's, "Champagne"
The Lyrics:
We be the life of the jam
Front like you don't know,
You know who we am
Front like you don't know,
You know who we am
Why:
I know they want to rhyme and all, but there are so many things wrong with this: it's supposed to say 1) "we are" the life of the jam; and 2) you know who we "are".
