~HOOD RAT~
Corruption… Dysfunction… Illiteracy…
Grows strong even today as if it was 1695.
Man is guilty of neglecting his neighbor
Underpaying his labor
And getting some next door flavor.
But it’s a brand new day and I’m feeling great.
The air is cool,
My clothes are fresh
But boy am I late.
I dash to the mirror, ‘cause I’m as vain as they come.
Take my time to comb my hair, fix my beard and then some.
I got my swagger on and my hair look tight.
Knowing that I’m goin’a have me a good one tonight.
Then as I step out of my comfort zone and into the World Wide Web of man,
Where other players got it on, and I just want to get along, but I can’t…
The panic switch flips and my stomach plays tricks
And my swagger just dipped ‘cause my confidence skipped.
I say hey!... It’s all good.
So I be chillin’ like a building made of Water, Glue and Wood.
My adrenalin pumps as my heart keeps drumming.
On the inside it’s like Katrina’s coming.
The ******...
