"Ebonics", better known as 'nigger speak', is a language spoken by poor urban black people and middle-class white boys, many of them being 13 years old in an effort to convince others that they are not middle-class white boys. It's been said that they have been infected by The Black.
'THIS IS HOW WE DO, NIGGA.' (nigger)
