Jerome's Conversation Translated

Me and ma woman was chillin' at ma crib. You know, jus hangin' out watchin' the tube, when I saw ma fo'dy was empty. So I yell, "LaQuiffa, way you is, bitch? Get me a Colt 45"

[A lady-friend and I were relaxing of an evening when I asked her if she would mind freshening my drink.]

And she come bustin' in from the other room saying, "Don't you be callin' me no bitch, mutha fucka." Now, dis ain't like when one'a ma homies yells, 'Yo, mutha fucka!' This be like when yo hook-up come lookin' fo you 'cause you ain't paid him no money in a month and he say, "Yo, mutha fucka!" and you know you gonna be kissin' a coupla teef good-bye. You know what I'm sayin?

[Much to my chagrin and surprise she took exception to my tone of voice! She answered me in a very scolding manner.]

So I said, "Who you callin' a mutha fucka, bitch?" And she start screamin' and shit like, "Dats it! You gunna learn to respect me, mutha fucka!"

[I tried to cover my embarrassment at having upset her with a show of bravado, but she would not be deterred. She only became more confrontational.]

An da bitch starts throwing all ma shit at me. She threw ma shoes, she threw ma good set-o-hub caps, dat bitch even threw the only mutha fuckin' lamp I got dat work, and broked the shit all up on the wall. So I start yellin, "You betta chill the fuck out, fo I bust a 9 in yo fat ass!"

Now, I knew I shouldn'a said dat shit, cause den she tried to pick up ma mutha fuckin' kitchen table an throw dat shit at me!

[Her increasingly combative attitude began to irk me, so I lost my temper. That was a foolish thing to do.]

So I said, "Awww, come on, Baby! You know big Daddy loves you. Put down that table and come over here and gimme some shuga.

[Seeing that a confrontational approach was ineffective, I changed my strategy to try and pacify her with affection.]

I knows how to talk to ma woman. When I start layin' ma shit down she roll ova like a cinnamon bun. She say, "Jerome, you know I can't have you disrespectin' me."

But I could tell she wasn't pissed no mo. "You brang dat sweet lil ass on ova here and I'll show you some 'spect."

[All it took was a gentle voice and a soft touch, and the temperamental demon that is woman was soon transmogrified into a cooing dove of solicitude and affection.]

An dat's dat.

[And that is that.]
