Examples of AAVE
She bin had dat han'-made dress
Befo' you know it, he be done aced de tesses
Ah 'on know what homey be doin
She's had that hand-made dress for a long time, and still does
Before you know it, he will have already aced the tests
I don't know what my friend is usually doing
2Pac - I Ain’t Mad At Cha
He's Mister local celebrity, addicted to
move a key
Most hated by enemy, escape in the Luxury
See, first you was our nigga but you made
it, so the choice is made
Now we gotta slay you why you faded, in the younger days
Missy Elliott – 4 Ma Man
I'm from a new era and I bring terror
To any chick who check my fella when we
together
So he treat me like a Cinderella
Protect me from the storm like he my umbrella
This fella deserve from a stella
He be a Rockefeller, not Jay-Z and Dame
But the charm on a chain
He platinum
Snoop Dogg – Snoop Bounce
It's alright ain't no room for wrong
Doggyland is the motherland, make yourself at
home
I got money loads by the barrels
I even got a few fans that's crazy like DeNiro
I'm international money maker, player hater
Shook up off the sake of spendin dollars and I always holler
