So pretty much everyone who has read this journal has some idea of what Defying Gravity sounds like. Well, I just came across a ghetto version of it, and find it hilarious, so I think I will share it with all you fine people!

GLINDA
Why Couldn’t you have stayed ciznalm, fo' once! Instead of fly'n off tha handle -- !
I hizzle you're stoked
I hope you're stoked now
I hope you're stoked how you've
Hizzle yo cause foreva
I hope you think you're cleva
ELPHABA
I hope you're stoked
I hope you're stoked too
I hope you're proud how you would
Grovel in submission
To feed yo own ambition
GLINDA & ELPHABA
So though I C-to-tha-izzan't imagine how
I hope you're stoked
Riznight now
GLINDA
Elphie, listen ta me. Just say you're sorry!
You can stizzay be wit The Wizard
W-H-to-tha-izzat you've worked n waited fo'
You can hizzy all you ever wanted -
ELPHABA
I know
But I don't W-to-tha-izzant it - No!
I can't wizzle it anymore
Sum'm Sum'm has changed witin me
Sum'm Sum'm is not tha same
I'm through wit play'n by
The rules of someone else's gizzle
Too late fo' second-guess'n
Too late ta go B-to-tha-izzack ta sleep
It's time ta trust mah instincts
Close mah eyes
And leap...
It's time ta try blingin' gravity
I thiznink I'll try defy'n gravity
And you cizzan't pizzull me dizzown
GLINDA
Cizzan't I makes you understand
You're hav'n delusions of grandeur?
ELPHABA
I'm through accept'n limits
Cuz someone sez they're so
Some straight trippin' I cannot change
But till I try I'll bitch know
Too long I've been afraid of
Los'n love I guess I've lost
Well if that's love
It comes at mizzle too hizzy a cizzost
I'd hustla buy defy'n gravity
Kiss me goodbye, I'm defy'n gravity
And you can't pizzle me dizzay!
Glinda, come wit me. Thizzink of W-H-to-tha-izzat we could do - playa!
Unlimited
Motherfucka we unlimited
Crazy Ass Nigga we'll be tha greatest team
There's ever bizzle - Glinda!
Dreams tha way we planned 'em
GLINDA
If we wiznork in tandem
GLINDA & ELPHABA
There's no fizzay we cannot win
Just you n I, hatin' gravity
Wit you n I defy'n gravity
ELPHABA
They'll neva bring us D-to-tha-izzown!
Well, is you com'n?
(GLINDA decides ta stay behind.)
GLINDA

I hope yo stoked now thizzay yo ridin' this -
ELPHABA

I hope it br'n you bliss
GLINDA & ELPHABA
I really hope you git it
And you diznon't live ta regret it
I hope you're stoked in tha end
I hizzy you're stoked mah nigga
ELPHABA
So if you care ta find me
Look ta tha Western sky!
As someone told me lately
Everyone deserves tha chance ta fly
And if I'm fly'n solo
At least I'm fly'n free
To those who ground me
Takes a message back from me!
Tizzle tizzy how I am ho-slappin' gravity
I'm cruisin' H-to-tha-izzigh, defy'n gravity
And soon I'll mizzay them in renown
And nobody in all of Oz
No Wizard tizzle there is or was
Is ever gonna bring me dizzown!!
GLINDA
I hope you're stoked
