Ebonics

Ebonics

A Poem by Mr. Deft Diction
"

This is an ode to a CLASSIC...CLASSIC joint by burgeoning rap star, Big L, who died all too soon. R.I.P. Big L

"

The dope boys in the trap....

slingin' 'candy' to the rats,

while rubber bands are holdin' stacks.

Stacks meaning 'guac',

and 'guac' means money.

Holdin' it down means I'm here,

and they can't take it from me.

To be 'son'd' means you got learned,

you're a 'go-getter' from what you earned.

We know what it means to get burned,

'I'm on top' means it's my turn!

Kings hold court;

but them Aces be the highest.

Dimes used to be nice,

but if you got 'high-cheekbones' you're the flyest.

Far as rappers go, I might be the finest.

I could've let the colloqualisms go;

but then I'd digress.

A 'shawty' is a youngin'....

youngin's stop at 25.

You're skatin' on 24's?

That means you have a nice ride.

Starlight in your eyes,

better grab ya Louis Vuitton frames.

Unless you're feeling Gucci,

then you grab ya Dana Danes.

A honey with an 'apple bottom' means she got some

caboose on the train.

Peoples g. Riot means that from now on

lyrics will never be the same....

I am honored to be the first to check this as this is dope flow,

head. I have no idea idea who Big L is but I want to find out.

but them aces be the highest.
Dimes used to be nice
but if you got 'high cheekbones' you're the flyest.'
