The CircleJerk Will Continue Until Morale Improves Day 1 - Fav Kendrick track where the third bar of the second verse contains exactly three words that appear monosyllabic in casual speech but are linguistically polysyllabic under the International Phonetic Alphabet?

I’d have to go search

But you’d look for words like “fire, wire, tire” which are monosyllabic but can be pronounced as if they’re two syllables depending on the dialect

Some people pronounce fire similarly to the word far while some pronounce it like “fye-er”
