Ebonics, Lets Do Some Slang

Ebonics, Lets Do Some Slang

I knows I'se yo' life a' chillin'
 yo' bro's gamin' da ladies and spillin'
Dat blod on dez streets bout' town
 sit yo' nappy azz rite on down!

Lak I'se yo' bes' frien' a skippin'
 on da daz he be wacked out en' trippin'
Dat he'd jest tak' yo' last doller
 spen' it on jest a gal and a holler!

In fac' sumtimes he sezs me awerkin'
 laughs so damm hard he starts ahurtin'
He saz dat iz fer da ignorent doggs
 yuz iz ez dead ez a rottin' logg!

I laugh at da way he be'n a-thinkin'
 ff'ed up on da weed and da drinkin'!
