I loved the last line, but Essentially she's right its like there's grammar Nazi's dictating how language is supposed to be used and performed in a sense. Because language is a tool that as humans we use to express abstract ideas and better yet the spectrum of emotion that we sometimes cant find words for. how much you want to bet another language has a spot on way of describing that very feeling. Anyway language has come a long way, but I guess her point is its still got a ways to go, its still changing.

I feel like there is a lot to unpack here, I checked YouTube to see how recent this poem was performed nut I couldn't help but to think about everything that's happened within the past year especially with police brutality, but I know these lines extend to something broader. My takeaway however is that it feels like she saying "what right do you have to speak ill on what we made with what you gave us" There's a lot more to this piece then just language.

This Entire first section Jamila is explaining how in different situations she can switch between her three sub genres of English. The first four lines are her speaking the Caribbean Creolized English she gets from her parents and a women being surprised about that, While in the second four lines again she explains the switch to Academic English, and so on and so fourth. So already she's laying the foundation and showing the audience that she's trilingual and can switch whenever.
