Nocabulary (2006 Remastered Live Version) (2006 Remastered Version Live)

I don't believe in ebonics

I believe that we just talk the way we do

There ain't ebonics, it's just that's the way we talk

We don't have time to say what a lot of people say

Some of them just too wordy

Just love the fact that they got a vocabulary

And while I'm on that subject, ladies and gentlemen

If you don't have a vocabulary, then don't try to use big words

There was a lady one time, rushed up to me

"Ooh, I saw you on Def Jam, I saw you on Steve Harvey

You look better in person 'cause in person you look so extinguished"

I said, "I'm glad to know I put your fire out"

A brother said, "I saw a guy yesterday, you gonna come to my show?"

"Well, you know, I was, uh, got some thing to do

But I ain't gonna lie, I been constipating 'bout coming

I'm just saying 'cause, you know, depending on when I get my check"

I've been constipating on coming

But that's just because people just do the best that they can

They ain't mad at you, you know, say what you can

But you know, learn the language

We all—ha! Y'all still laughing

Was some of y'all constipating 'bout coming here too?

She was constipating 'bout coming?
