Seriously? Look at her butt, ew!
Oh, she looks like a slut, ew!
I'm like "What the what"? Ew!
Right? Right? ew, ew
Oh, you got to see this, ew!
Oh my gross, I can't believe it, ew!
She's so basically basic, ew!
She's literally making me sick, ew!
This is embarrassing, ew, ew
Like seriously, seriously, ew, ew
No seriously, seriously! Ew, ew,
I can't, I can't! ew, ew, Look at look at this
OM-effin-G, what the eff?
You're gonna freakin' flip, like, seriously freakin' flip
'Cause Sally's mad at Iggy because Iggy's booty's more biggy
And Sally's booty's twiggy so she called her friend Cybie
Now Sally's gonna get impleggies

What's impleggies?
Implants, silly
Ew! I'm freakin' for real
I think silicone butts are ew, ew!
Where'd she get that outfit? Ew!
That girl is totally ratchet, ew!
No seriously who likes that? Ew!
Right right? Ew, ew

Look at the way she takes pics, ew!
And what's up with those duck lips? Ew!
She's so lame, ew!
Super lame, ew, ew!
This is embarrassing, ew, ew
Like seriously seriously, ew, ew
No, seriously seriously, ew, ew
Oh my gosh, ew, ew, I am not hating
I am merely conversating
With my BFF Sara
So bust your rhyme, Sara

It's Mir.i.am and you know who
Now here's some things I think are, ew!
FaceTime and reclining in airplane seats and then Vining
Retweeting tweets I'm not lying 'cause even rhyming's ann-iy-ing!
Bread bowls and ravioli, casserole
A roly poly caterpillar on my really old and moldy windowsill, ew!
Trapper keepers and a creeper wearin' sneakers with the toes
And maybe Frozen 'cause you knowin' I don't wanna build a snowman

Ew! ew! ew, ew, ew, ew, ew, ew, seriously yah

Hello my name is Sara
That's Sara with no "H"
Too bad if you don't like it
'Cause haters gonna hate
My stepdad Gary
He tries to act so cool
Every time we see him
My friends and I say "Ew!" yeah

Hey, funky bunch
What're you guys doing?
Oh my gosh, it's my step dad Gary
And he just ruined it!
I heard that funky beat that you was playing down here




It's a party over here
It's a party over here, ew!

To be fair, I'm Indian as well, and its not as cliche as people are making out. A lot of people genuinely talk like that down there. And the head bob is real, its like they're always listening to a Black Eyed Peas song whilst speaking. Haha, love it.

spell024

hey I remember you! a few months ago this one guy gave you a compliment for being beautiful and then you led him on a bit before revealing the pic isn't you and that you're a actually dude. that was hilarious lol nice running into ya 

Stephanie Vizcarra

spell024 wow that happened?

TokyoKazama

spell024 Hey right back'atcha buddy!
Yeah I could dedicate a whole season of Catfish to this one tiny picture because of the amount of suckers online that have been attracted to it (I find it hilarious).

Anyways, how have you been?
Doing good, I hope.

Nellie K. Adaba

+TokyoKazama Alright. I love Blak Eyed Pea and Will.i.am, but I'm sure most Indians don't talk like that.

Jordan Appel

I never liked any of will.i.am's new songs, especially his new one, but this collaboration was quite interesting. He nailed that Indian accent and congrats to both of them for cracking the Top 20!

Floyd Mayweather 50-0

that indian accent hahaha even the head wobble at the end was spot on

Maya St. Germain

f

Maya St. Germain

Its not even that serious. I'm brown and he is just imitating how some Indians speak. Its not like he's saying how Indians from Bangalore are cheap or some next stereotype. Its all in jest.

MrHayada
