Poem
So yall, here are some sayings. Some are from wayyyy back in the day, I’m talking ‘bout the 70’s up to current, and they all have meanings. Many of you may have heard them and know what they mean, while some of you may have not. But the good news is, if you know, you know, and if you don’t, you can always ask somebody (Smile) I write how I write, which means, I don’t need no spell check or auto correct. Let’s get into it. Throwing shade - What goes around comes around Clean out your own backyard - Imma holler at ya The good gotta suffer for the bad - Dat part I ain’t gotta do nothing but stay black and die - I’m just saying She sho put her in her place - You ‘ont want no smoke You got me messed up - He good for nothing Don’t bite the hand that feed ya - Oh she outside Keep playing with me - You reap what ya sow He gon beat the breaks off him Ain’t that the pot calling the kettle black - Da bomb He cleaner than the Board of Health - I feel ya To make a long story short - She for da streets Don’t judge a book by its cover - Like white on rice Whoever said it made it - He dodged a bullet Black sheep of the family - Spinning da block A hard head make a soft behind - He down bad fa dat Yo momma be tripping - Please believe me If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it - God don’t like ugly What’s good for the goose is good for the gander Lie down with a dog, you gon get fleas She ain’t gon play with me - You better lay low Once you go black, you never go back - Stay woke Every dog got dey day - Off da chain - Bet A closed mouth don’t get fed - He high as a kite Birds of a feather flock together - A time was had Hook me up - I’m dead serious - Not on my watch Tryna make a dollar outta 15 cent - My bad It’s raining cats and dogs - She older than dirt Chile she look a hot mess - Black don’t crack No news is good news - I ain’t da one - He ghosted her One monkey don’t stop no show - Bish Please Don’t get me started - She lying through her teeth What goes up, must come down - Break me off You gon learn today - Put up or shut up That ain’t nothing but the devil - I could never You better than me - I wish a n…. would What you do in the dark gon come out in the light Don’t count yo chickens before they hatch Chile Please - It takes two to tango - That’s cold I’m sick and tired of being sick and tired - Say less You want yo cake and eat it too - Who gon tell her? If it ain’t one thing it’s another - It is what it is Long as I owe you, you’ll never go broke - Move around Robbing Peter to pay Paul - You doing da most Stop airing out yo dirty laundry - Like a fly on the wall You ain’t ‘bout that life - If the shoe fit, wear it I done washed my hands with her - Shut the front door Treat yourself, don’t cheat yourself - I know you lying If it don’t fit, don’t force it - Say it ain’t so - No cap Watch I wash yo mouth out with soap - Keep it 100 You couldn’t handle me if you tried - Oh she on one Where there’s a will there’s a way - That’s what’s up You better find somebody else to play with - It was lit Don’t knock it till you try it - You best believe You can’t have the cow without the calf - I got tea Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me My name Bennet and I ain’t in it - Keep it cute They like two peas in a pod - She coo coo for cocoa puff If you can’t stand the heat, get out the kitchen You skating on thin ice - Fix yo face - Sorry not sorry The early bird get the worm - You snooze you lose You don’t miss your water till yo well run dry Let the doorknob hit cha where the good Lord split ya That’s not my cup of tea - You gon learn the hard way You ain’t got a pot to pss on and a window to throw it out If you ain’t got nothing nice to say don’t say nothing at all… There’s so many more, hope you enjoyed these.
