I see that English teacher's must be getting along well; there is apparently no requirement for them to even show up for work. Who needs to teach proper 'English'; as long as we kin unner-stan each udder.

Hmmm. The goofiness of the whole thing notwithstanding (I'm sure I am just too old) I found a surprising proper use of the language here that suggests this might have been written either by a non-rapper, or a literate one.

"...give shouts out in his Name." Ordinarily, that kind of thing would be mistakenly pluralized as "shout outs". However, like "brothers in law" the writer has correctly pluralized the term. "Shout outs," though improper, would sound more ebonic, so I am guessing our author is a hip-hop wannabee.

Maybe they had a good English teacher who was on the job. :-)

On the other hand, you might want to rethink the apostrophe in teacher's. :-)

English Teacher's? I guess your teacher didn't show up for work either. It's just plain old TEACHERS - PLURAL. No apostrophe. Do you unner-stan?
