Lost in Translation

What can you really achieve from education? When I was seven years old I started learning French from Mr. Baker, a gargantuan and stern man with bristly nasal hair. Latin started at eight years and ancient Greek at about twelve. Italian lasted an "anno" when I started my new school and was swiftly replaced by Spanish.
All of this, quite honestly, has come to nothing. I can't understand a single word of these songs, though to be fair to Mr. Baker I suspect they might actually be in English.
Mr. Vegas is my new Linguistics mentor now and maybe, one day, I will understand.

Mr. Vegas - Wuk Di Money
Mr. Vegas - Nike Air (Hands In The Air)
Mr. Vegas - Heads High

Oh, and for good measure enjoy this old thing:
