No doubt some Bible societies will feel compelled to publish a new
translation of the Holy Scriptures in the newly discovered language
of Ebonics.
Here's a head start for them.
EBONICS ENGLISH
Big Daddy's Rap The Lord's Prayer
Yo, Bid Daddy upstairs, Our Father, who art in heaven
You be chillin Hallowed be thy name
So be yo hood Thy Kingdom come
You be sayin' it, I be doin' it Thy will be done
In this here hood and yo's On earth as it is in heaven
Gimme some eats Give us this day our daily bread
And cut me some slack, Blood And forgive us our trespasses
Sos I be doin' it to dem dat diss me As we forgive those who trespasses
against us
don't be pushing me into no jive And lead us not into temptation
and keep dem Crips away But deliver us from evil
'Cause you always be da Man For thine is the Kingdom, the power
and the glory, forever and ever.
Aaa-men Amen
