Why, when I was a boy...

Da often-largely-bu**s**t "you think THAT'S difficult/meager/boring?? You coddled soft-livin' young people of today haven't a bleepin' CLUE about how dull/tough/harsh things USED to be for the common person!" retort given by arrogant elders to try to brush off a whiny-but-often-perfectly reasonable/legitimate request/complaint/excuse proffered by someone "from da newer generation".
Before you go sagely wagging your finger and snorting, "Why, when I was a boy..." anytime a younger person whimpers/protests to you about something, you should first seriously consider whether whatever "way back when" condition that you are referring to was truly fair/wise/healthy, or if it was merely based on the "unenlightened" prejudiced/close-minded/stereotypical thinking, unawareness/disregard for basic health/safety concerns, etc. which was so tragically rampant "back in the good ol' days", such as toxic building-materials, leaded gasoline, racial hatred, disregard for the dangers of radioactivity, lack of tolerance/sympathy/allowances for physically and/or mentally-challenged citizens, etc. Maybe the "young whippersnapper" who is bringing his dissatisfaction to your attention does indeed have a valid point which stems from modern-day knowledge and progressive thinking --- again, just because YOU had to put up with all of that "insipid/hard/agonized-living" crap during your formative years does **not** arbitrarily mean that it was fair or safe or reasonable, and therefore you should not blindly use it as a justifying example of what said youngster should think/tolerate nowadays.

A sentence mixed with AAVE + Stan Twitter words that make absolutely no sense at all for normal English speakers. Only the most devoted of the Unemployment religion can decipher the gaggery of this sentence.

Originally said by a random Twitter user, it gained more recognition when Ethel Cain read the same sentence posted by someone else on her livestream.
"When the chile is tea but the finna is gag, sis i'm dead as a chile
What he knows throws the blows when he goes to the fight
And he'll win the whole thing 'fore he enters the ring
There's no body to batter when your mind is your might
So when you go solo, you hold your own hand
And remember that depth is the greatest of heights
And if you know where you stand, then you know where to land
And if you fall it won't matter, cuz you'll know that you're right" is the full title of Finna Apple's second studio album.
