Read the lyrics by Nina Simone:


Ain't got no home, ain't got no shoes

Ain't got no money, ain't got no class

Ain't got no skirts, ain't got no sweaters

Ain't got no perfume, ain't got no love

Ain't got no faith


Ain't got no culture, ain't got no mother

Ain't got no father, ain't got no brother

Ain't got no children, ain't got no aunts

Ain't got no uncles, ain't got no love

Ain't got no mind


Ain't got no country ain't got no schooling

Ain't got no friends, ain't got no nothing

Ain't got no water, ain't got no air

Ain't got no smokes, ain't got no ticket


Ain't got no water, ain't got no love

Ain't got no hair, ain't got no God

Ain't got no wine, ain't got no money

Ain't got no bed, ain't got no God

Ain't got no love


What have I got?

Why am I alive anyway?

Yeah, what have I got?

Nobody can take away

As an English teacher, how would you explain the linguistic choices of the song based on the recommendations brought by the Brazilian National Common Core Curriculum (Base Nacional Comum Curricular)?


A

The use of the double negative in English is incorrect.


B

The singer does not seem to use English appropriately due to the lack of educational opportunities.


C

The use of the double negative is legitimate and a social marker.


D

“Ain’t” should be replaced by “isn’t” or “aren’t”.


E

“Ain’t” should be replaced by “haven’t”.
