With a mind like Michael And a soul like JJ
They hate me
Cuz
Thelma and I both though Keith was hot
Moms always dropped knowledge that would have made Florida's head spin
Wilona was my cousin and my sister her twin
My dad’s name was James and he did cut out after a season or two
Death not of natural causes
The one that swept the 80's ghetto
Victims soul dead
Walking zombies
Hearts retarded
Had hella neighbors named penny
Still do
By the time she was 15
had a baby daddy that was 20
and more than a few
A lot of em still trying to escape the ghetto but the rattings are slippin
And the government is losing interest
They say the world is going broke
But money the ghetto never had
They say the world is at war
but in the ghetto every day is won
We tell the children to go to school and get and education
but worldwide its worthless
I look at my nephew and my godson and pray
The day never comes
They ask me
The correct way
To hold a gun
