Anyway I decided to be nice and brought him a fresh pound of sugar yesterday... and he laughed and said he didn't want it and instead wanted "a lil somethin-somethin know what I'm sayin?" .... well I'm not sure what a "something something" is. Was he trying to speak my language and just couldn't translate what the "something" was? I'm confused.
Oh he also said something about a "sweet booty" but I've got no idea what that means either.

Hello friend.
I have met personally a man in black, Dennis Rodman, and he is my good friend, so I can help to make a translate based off of my interactions.
He can not afford to buy his own sugar because for America is an very racialist countries and white people are a lot richer. If you're white, you don't know what it will like to be poor and live in an ghetto. I think when he say "something-something", that means it is because for he want more than a pound of sugar, he is trying to get you to play a fun activity where you guess whether he want two pound of sugar, three pound, four pound, etc. and whether you can estimate the right quantity if he tells you whether you are getting warmer or colder. Again, he need a lot of sugar because he is very poor.
"Booty" is slang for money, again, he is very poor.
I hope this helps.
