Now the Serpent was one bad dude, one of all the baddest of all the creatures the Almighty had made. And the Serpent said to the sista, "Sista, you mean the Almighty said you can't eat of the tree?" She said "Yeah, snake, He said we can't eat of that tree or we'd be knocked off." And the Serpent said, "Naw, sista, He just knows that if you eat of that tree, you'll be hipped to what's goin' down."
etc.
