Shawdy

You the best (for now)
but don't get conceited 
quickest way to get dethroned
is to condescend the shoulders you stand on

No man is an island 
Shawdy, act high and mighty 
and you'll end up in no man's island 

Humble yourself
or you'll get humiliated 
worse yet - you might get annihilated

◄ It's all about the paper

May we never lose our wander! ►

Colin, according to the urban dictionary, Shawdy is a southern slang used to refer to a person, usually a woman. I am also aware that it was a popular slang word in rap music in the early 2000s.

I used Shawdy because I thought some readers might find it interesting (and you proved me right) as well as the fact that when I think of 'Shawdy', the pride and arrogance associated with a lot of 'mainstream rap music' comes to mind.

I'm intrigued by the word 'Shawdy' Juan. Can you explain? Thanks, Col.
