half the ***** in Brooklyn
cant afford to live there anymore.
Its one of the shoplifting capitols
of the world.

the way I grew up
was to see if me and my friends
could stuff
our mouths with egg foo young
and shrimp rolls  
in a little Chinese Restaurant
near the exit door

and than run for our lives
without paying the bill

and thats me
and my dumb ****
glue sniffing friends
letting our Brooklyn out
