Ebonics
DJ Pooh Lyrics

Eeeee bonics
Ebonics, the language that we speak

Ain't nothin' but a fancy word for slang
Ebonics is just a more formal way of referring to the informal language we use

A language often used when you kick it and hang
We use ebonics a lot when we socialize and hang out

There's words like "soda"
There are common words, like "soda", in ebonics

I pinched her ass so da
I pinched her butt and she got mad

Bitch got mad
She got angry when I pinched her butt

Take the word "offer"
For example, the word "offer"

Then came her dad
Her dad showed up

So I quickly got off her
I quickly stopped doing what I was doing with her

There's a bunch how bout "homade"
There are many more examples, like "homade"

I was hungry the so the hoe made me lunch
I was hungry so the woman made me lunch

Pretty soon / There will be books on how to speak it taught in the classroom
Ebonics may soon be taught in classrooms with books on the subject

But to us it's nothing new (naw) / You hear it on the avenue / Even on the bus, at a barbecue
Ebonics is nothing new to us, we hear it all the time on the street, on the bus, at parties

It's spoken, by people of all ages / I even put it in my rap pages and bust it on stages
People of all ages speak ebonics and I even use it in my rap music performances

But you'll have to excuse me / I'm stepping out this evening / I hope what I've been sayin' you're "believing" / Cause I'll be leaving
Excuse me, I have to go out this evening. I hope you believe what I've been saying because I'm leaving soon

In a minute to a black tie affair / I bet they got the bomb weed there / That's ebonics
I'm going to a fancy event soon and I bet they will have great marijuana there. That's ebonics for you

I know ebonic I know ebonics / Do you know ebonics (x2)
I know ebonics. Do you know ebonics? (Chorus)

I like to be discrete when on the phone / I don't want the pigs all up in my home / I just call up the homies I'm dry like a bone / Got some vegetable? "aw yeah" / Plug me in with a zone
I like to be discreet when talking on the phone so the police won't come to my house. I just call my friends when I need drugs and they get me what I need

And if I must say it works rather well / Just keep it on the down low, that mean don't tell
It works well for me, just keep it a secret and don't tell anyone

My styles funky and I don't mean the smell / Get yourself a stash box to hide the periphanala (ya)
My style is unique and cool, and I don't mean it literally stinks. Get a box to hide your drugs in

Must be a fool if ya haven't learned / That getting jacked, it's not a sexual term / It means you're gonna get robbed / Get yourself a strap / That's a gun, roll with it, on your lap
You must be foolish if you don't know that "getting jacked" doesn't refer to sex but means getting robbed. Get a gun and keep it with you

Don't mess with bummy hoes that try to throw the coochie / Cause the bitch is low budget in ebonics, hootchie
Don't have casual sex with trashy women because they are low-quality and we call them "hootchies" (in ebonics)

And if ya at the sto' use the word "domain" / Say "Hold the do' man"
If you are at the store, say "Hold the door, man" by using the word "domain" (in ebonics)

A- arrest / be - broke / see- goin' to court for / D- dope / E- bonics / F- fly / G- that's me / H- high (like a motherfucker) off the / I- Indo / J- is for jackin' / K- kidnappin', will leave you with an / L- give me the / M- money / N- niggas / O- shit / P- here come the police, (watch out) dump the / Q- quarter piece / are- really doe / S- you smoke stress / T- trick, that's a hoe / you- underground that's my style and sound (I know) / V- catchin' the vapors if you like me all of a sudden / cause I started makin' paper / W- wack, and that goes for MCs with the skills ya lack / Who got money on some? / X- tra bags (who?) / why- y'all trippin'? I got the / Z- zigzags
Here is a list of ebonics, starting from letters A to Z and their meanings

Now that's ebonics
That's ebonics for you, folks
