Man we have to change to survive
Language is an important factor
Niggaz try n’ to stay alive
Streets talking: What’s up nigga?
Could b a lil’ different
Hello would be nice
But that’s how shit is when you trying to Get it
I’m sorry
Unacceptable in the hood
My bad nigga, it’s all good
That’s niggaz making a peace treaty
Woo Coooooo
Excuse me would have been nice
Words will make ya heart Jell-O
Wooooooo coooooooooo
Will make the situation most mellow
He gives:
“She’s my ma fucka”
I receive:
I love you
I love you’s in his life has been scarce
It’s hard to articulate I love you
When it’s been scarce in ya life
I love my nigga
He my ma fucka
This is the art of language
When I say what’s up to my niggaz that’s a proper greet n’
It’s called s’language
