Ebonics Translation - "One More Chance (Remix)" - The Notorious B.I.G.

  "First things first, I poppa, freaks all the honeys
  Dummies - playboy bunnies, those wantin' money
  Those the ones I like 'cause they don't 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 whores.  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 jewelery.
 
  "And my jam knock in the Mitsubishi
  Girls pee pee when they see me, Nava-hoes creep me in they tee pee
  As I lay down laws like I lay carpet
  Stop it - if you think your gonna make a profit"

TRANSLATION: 

  I enjoy playing my music loudly on my car stereo.  Apparently, women
  enjoy this also because they become sexually aroused when they see me
  driving.  Oddly enough, when I visit the Native American reservations,
  some of the more sexually promiscuous Indian women attempt to seduce
  me in their homes.  Their intent is to divest me of my earnings.  Such
  actions are unacceptable.

  "Don't see my ones, don't see my guns - get it
  Now tell ya friends Poppa hit it then split it
  In two as I flow with the Junior Mafia
  I don't know what the hell's stoppin' ya
  I'm clockin' ya - Versace shades watchin' ya
  Once ya grin, I'm in game, begin"
 
TRANSLATION:

  Understand this fact: you can have neither my money, nor my weapons.
  I suggest that you inform your peers that we engaged in violent
  sexual acts.  Currently, I am rapping with my associates, the Junior
  Mafia.  I'm having some difficulty understanding why you refuse to
  approach me.  I am attempting to make eye contact with you through my
  expensives glasses, and as soon as you respond with a smile, I will
  approach you.
 
  First I talk about how I dress and this
  And diamond necklesses - stretch Lexuses
  The sex is just immaculate from the back I get
  Deeper and deeper - help ya reach the
  Climax that your man can't make
  Call and tell him you'll be home real late
  Let's sing the break
 
TRANSLATION:

  I prefer to open the conversation with light banter about my wardrobe
  and jewelery, then I like to discuss my collection of expensive cars.
  This is more than enough to convince you to have sexual intercourse
  with me.  I am able to insert my penis further into you when I enter
  you from behind.  Furthermore, you will be able to reach orgasm.  I
  understand this to be a problem with your current sexual partner.  He
  needn't be concerned about your whereabouts.  Please phone him and
  inform him that you won't be home for a while. By the way, please sing the
  chorus of the song for me also.
 
  "She's sick of that song on how it's so long
  Thought he worked his until I handled my biz
  There I is - major pain like Damon Wayans
  Low down dirty even like his brother Keenan
  Schemin' - don't bring your girl 'round me
  True player for real, ask Puff Daddy"
 
TRANSLATION:

  Your current love interest no longer wishes to hear your fabrications
  about the length of your member.  After I had sexual intercourse with
  your woman, she became enlightened as to the proper way it is supposed
  to be performed; violently and immorally.  It would be in your best
  interest to keep your woman away from me as my sexual prowess is very
  strong.  If you are unconvinced, ask Puff Daddy.

  "You - ringin' bells with bags from Chanel
  Baby Benz, traded in your Hyundai Excel
  Fully equipped, CD changer with the cell
  She beeped me, meet me at twelve"

TRANSLATION:

  Despite the fact that you attempted to win her at her doorstep with
  bags full of expensive clothes and a car (the lower end model Mercedes
  Benz which you financed by signing over your current vehicle)
  containing an expensive stereo and a cellular phone, your woman has
  contacted me through my pager indicating that we should rendezvous at
  midnight.
 
  "Where you at? Flippin' jobs, playin' car notes?
  While I'm swimmin' in ya women like the breast stroke
  Right stroke, left stroke what's the best stroke
  Death stroke - tongue all down her throat
  Nuthin' left to do but send her home to you
  I'm through - can ya sing the song for me, boo?"

TRANSLATION:
 
  You, on the other hand, jump from job to job, barely able to maintain
  payments on the Mercedes Benz you purchased for your woman.
  Meanwhile, I continue to engage in sexual intercourse and commit lewd
  osculatory acts with your women.  My only remaining option is to
  request that they leave my home and return to you because I have
  reached orgasm and no longer have a need for their presence.

  "So, what's it gonna be? Him or me?
  We can cruise the world with pearls
  Gator boots for girls
  The envy of all women, crushed linen
  Cartier wrist-wear with diamonds in 'em
  The finest women I love with a passion
  Ya man's a wimp, I give that ass a good thrashin'"

TRANSLATION:

  The ultimate decision rests with you.  Whom do you choose as your
  sexual partner.  I can take you on cruises around the world.  I will
  dress you in the finest jewelery and footwear.  You will be envied by
  women worldwide in your fine clothes and jewelery.  There is a special
  place in my heart for beautiful women.  I will defeat your man in an
  altercation because he is effeminate.

  "High fashion - flyin' into all states
  Sexin' me while your man masturbates
  Isn't this great? Your flight leaves at eight
  Her flight lands at nine, my game just rewinds
  Lyrically I'm supposed to represent
  I'm not only the client, I'm the player president"

TRANSLATION:

  You will be dressed in finest clothes on the runways of Paris.  I will
  fly you to every state to shop for fine clothes and jewelery.  You
  will enjoy sexual intercourse with me and your man will be forced to
  pleasure himself through manual stimulation.  What a life!  I'll
  return you to LaGuardia in time to catch your 8 o'clock flight.  The
  timing is perfect becuase I have scheduled a date with a second woman
  who arrives at the same gate at 9 o'clock.  I'll seduce her in the
  same way that I seduced you.  I rap well and I am a positive
  reflection of my hometown.  Not only am I a sexually deviant,
  misogynistic, immoral, wealthy, male prostitute, but I also sit on the
  board of directors of the organization that governs others of my
  kind.
