#1 Assignment: Please translate the following Rap song lyrics from Ebonics to standard English.

Artist: Notorious B.I.G.
Album: Ready to Die
Song: One more chance (remix)

Lyrics:

First things first, I poppa, freaks all the honeys

Dummies - playboy bunnies, those wantin money

Those the ones I like cause they dont get nathan

But penetration, unless it smells like sanitation

Garbage, I turn like doorknobs

Heart throb, never, black and ugly as ever

However, I stay coochied down to the socks

Rings and watch filled with rocks

TRANSLATION:

As a general rule, I perform deviant sexual acts with women of all kinds, including but not limited to those with limited intellect, nude magazine models, and prostitutes. I particularly enjoy sexual encounters with the latter group as they are generally disappointed in the fact that they only receive penile intercourse and nothing more, unless of course, they douche on a consistent basis. Although I am extremely unattractive, I am able to engage in these types of sexual acts with some regularity. Perhaps my sexuality is somehow related to my fancy and expensive jewelry.

#2 You, You, You mean they're just too (Gasp) lazy to pronounce the whole word, so they (Gulp) drop a part and fool you Overeducated morons into thinking its a new "Language"?

No Morons it's clled "Dialect".

(From Google)
The term dialect (from the Greek Language word dialektos, ÄéÜëåêôïò) is used in two distinct ways, even by linguists. One usage refers to a variety of a language that is characteristic of a particular group of the language's speakers.

OR
(Wikipedia)
but a dialect may also be defined by other factors, such as social class.

"Cockney" comes immediately to mind.

#4 Old linguist´s joke:
What´s the difference between a dialect and a language?
A language is a dialect with an army and a navy.
