Swagga-WAH???

SO,

I'm listening to a bunch of songs and I notice....

Over 85% of these songs have the word "Swag" or a derivative of it in the song.

SO,

Mr. Batman thinks to himself...

What is this "Swag"...and does it have a clear definition? Mr. Batman being the educational man that he is...conducted research on the topic...

I went to a prominent source to start my research which was the Oxford Dictionary

(White People)

And this is what they told me..

"swag-noun

1. an ornamental festoon of flowers, fruit, and greenery.

2. a curtain or drape fastened to hang in drooping curve.

3. money or goods taken by a thief or burglar."

Hmmm....i thought. THIS is what rappers are talking about..interesting...maybe Mr. Batman traversed to the wrong source...

SO,

Mr. Batman went to urbandictionary.com, and this is what they told me...

"swag-verb

1. To move over an area of surface with extreme C.A.S.(confidence, appearance, and style) by taking steps with the feet at a pace slower than a run."

Again, Mr. Batman is drawing a blank...yes the "Urban" version gave me a better interpretation of what these hip hop artists may be talking about, but if if you ask all of them would they all give the same definition? I highly doubt that, i believe that each one would have a separate meaning....then it came to me...

This so called "Swag" is what you make it....your walk, talk, so called game, basically your abilities TO do what you CAN do in a given situation...Chicks have it, Nigs have it. I guess we're in just a "swaggerful" world waking up in the morning turning our "swag" on and eating a bowl of "swaggy-O's" with "vitamin swag" milk, while we Ace our "swag-class", to get out "swaggalicious", and use our "swag" to holla at this chick over here who compliments our "swagGER" to the "swag-teenth" degree, all the while making sure any person in our immediate group's "swagNESS" is on our level or it'll drop unfortunately, because GOD FORBID if that happens then our "swag-level" will drop, cuz if his is better than mine then he's "swagger jackin" thus us having to raise it by pumping our "swag-iron", while drinking our protein shake with that "swag milk" again, all before going to bed and turning off our "swag" for the night.....

swag, swag, swag.....dam...

How bout next time..when you get complimented instead of blaming it on an ornamental festoon of flowers, or "C.A.S.".......just say...

...That's Just Me...

For that reason....."Swag"....
