For what it’s worth, I’ve been a hip-hopper from birth.
Try to disrespect, and get your ass played up like a Smurf.

I call wild niggas together like Cyrus,
And knock off more birds than the West Nile Virus.

- Freddie Foxxx, “I Come to War,” 12”, 2001

I have to be perfectly honest:
You should have an anniversary to acknowledge the way I work the ebonics.
