\VS{14}Az oua fault wen we start fo tink, “Eh, I like do bad kine stuff!” Cuz da bad kine tinking pull us all ova. We come jalike da fish dat go afta da bait.

\par }{\PP \VS{12}Wen you talk an wen you do someting, no foget dat da Rule dat God goin use fo check you out, dass da Good Stuff God tell us. An dat same Good Stuff From God goin hemo you from doing all da bad kine stuff.
