Summary

[edit]
Description
English: The text in this image is an Ebonics variant of English. "Golly! He's got dis nigga suah, less sumfin happens." translates to "Golly! He's got this nigga [for] sure, less something happens." See https://dictionary.university/Suah and https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Suah for the idea that "suah" means "sure". Other translation which might be better: "Golly! He's got this nigga [beat for] sure, less something happens." (this image seems to depict a watercraft competition).
