(Oakland California's school district recently recognized
Ebonics "Black English" as a separate language.)

The Lord's Prayer translated into Ebonics:
 
   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,                  And forgive us our trespasses

Sos I be doin' it to dem dat diss me       As we forgive those who
                                             trespass against us

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

Aaa-men                                             Amen
