S’Language

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
