Speak Ezy

Befo wuts propa go to far

Befo we foget who we are

Put in on paypa n write it our way

It dont look good but its ezia ta say

Times done changed n we wuz taut well

Our baby is only fo n he know how ta spell;

But I wonda if yall could learn dis stuff

Bein black down souf it was really ruff

Now Chilen don’t ya worry if ya don’t undastain

Ya don’t have ta go to no forin lain

Nope, cause dis is de way it tis even taday

Black foke writin but not wut day say

Ya see it all stoted way down souf

Doen where day worked de tong out cha mouf

All doe you spirit waz brokin an yo body waz weak

If yo shortin yo words it wuz eazia to speak
