"popo" poems
Down in the ghetto, real
****** stand together
Me and my 2nd in charge had an
alibi that breezed us on through
Sued the NY Times and their racist news
for they had no clue about us
The judge winked us both off and
later was paid what he was due
Corrupt, corrupt judiciary
The reasons for this are mostly monetary
No questions ... it’s just customary
While the Judges, Lawyers, Popo’s, too
Lookin’ for a way to make a few extra dimes
They were askin’ ‘bout, tryin’ to cash in, all da time
What judge or man wouldn’t agree ‘bout raisin’
a little bread on da side
No questions ... it’s just customary
I then asked a judge, why doesn’t the NY Times
take a bribe, so they don’t need to report all da crimes
I listened with intrigue and right away I saw the signs
Then my eyes closed tighter, as I hear what he describes
Judiciary started callin’ and Popo’s started fallin’
Shhhush . . . it’s just customary
While the Judges, Lawyers, Popo’s, too
Lookin’ for a way to make a few extra dimes
They were askin’ ‘bout tryin’ to cash in, all da time
What judge or man wouldn’t agree ‘bout raisin’
a little bread on da side
No questions ... it’s just customary
Well the New York Times is owned by the Irish
and not by a wealthy enclave of Jews
I think I just made my very last mistake
He fired a pistol from under his robe
and shot me to da ground
And I heard him sayin’ “Never **** with da men in da gown”
Corrupt, corrupt judiciary
The reasons for this are mostly monetary
I’d asked to many questions ... it’s just customary
While the Judges, Lawyers, Popo’s, too
Lookin’ for a way to make a few extra dimes
They were askin’ ‘bout tryin’ to cash in, all da time
What judge or man wouldn’t agree ‘bout raisin’
a little bread on da side
No questions ... it’s just customary.

My mama said its just a phase
I just wanna get you high
Look at the bright lights
Pop a pill now I'm zoning
in the sky make you fly
sip slow on that poison
not sure where I'm goin
I'm dialated
the popo keeps starin at us
the locals keep glarin at us
these beans keep me near sighted
that *** got me so excited
I bite the bullet
I keep the rifle close
I got the spins
but I got to fight it
but I think I'm losin my mind
but it could be worse
I'm sure that I'm fine
as I check the time
I cant remember the night
I pay the price of giving my life
flying up high
and they all around me
**** god **** some bomb *** ****
mixin up my potion
marijuana stay potent
pop a pill now im zoning
I'm zoning, zoning

First off I am the ****
I slap ******* in Target
and steal them electric carts
to get away from the popo
I start low speed chases
down sidewalks on three wheeled motorcycles.
I got arrested, but that's a'ite.
I am the ****
I start bar fights
with pool cues
and hit ****** with beer bottles.
I throw rocks
through car windows.
I got arrested, but that's a'ite.
I am the ****
I threaten Subway employees
with my big black gun
while Suge gets mani-pedis.
I get my motherfucckin' sandwich anyway.
I got arrested, but that's a'ite.
I am the ****
I got fo kids and I keep my guns in a box.
I smoke ****
It aint a drug.
Its something you smoke when you want to feel good.
I got arrested, but that's a'ite.

Petal by petal, she wanes
Ever so quietly
Like a waking consciousness succumbing
To sleep,
I now understand the bitterness
Of one's last breath.
But why, why does it render such
Pain? Is not death
Beautiful?
The withering of all
Sufferings and endurance, the
Beginning of one's revelation,
And yet again...
Maybe
If I turn her into a poem,
If I can etch her essence into
Pen and paper, she will live on;
They said words were powerful.
I only want her to be strong.
Live on,
Live on,
Please live on...
To my popo.(2016)*

Sniffin’ my cologne
Hair full of da gel
In like Flynn tonight
For my homies aren’t that bad
Their just a little ******* mad
Playing with sharp knives, oh no
What’s making ya bleed
What’s making ya bleed
They'll be floating through later
Maybe laying down, little white lines
I be a chillin’, by about half past nine
I’ll be a jiggin’ sum girl on da sofa recline
Yeah, your ever so kind and real kinda dope
What’s making ya bleed
What’s making ya bleed
What’s making ya bleed
What’s making ya bleed
Maybe it’s from da ***** that don’t know any better
Why no one tell him, she was my date
She done dead now, for **** sake
Thoughts about what we do and where to take
Like how now is she gunna be undiscovered
Authorities and her family, smell a whiff of her on my coat
Like sum dead wraparound ******* fox
So now I’m on the Popo’s radar
Everything I do now, even taking my mama to church
Hope she prayed extra hard
I need to teach those ****** who to cut and who to trust
Like I'm a god forsaken ******* preacher
I lost da last girl
I feel ****** and torn
What’s making ya bleed
What’s making ya bleed
Not again...

This is for my ******
Who might need some schoolin'
With their different street names
Who y’all foolin'
It’s high time
That you peep it
Your government names
Ain’t no secret
What’s the point of having one anyway
Who you think invented (AKA)
They can capture you
From a satellite
Doin it under the covers
In the dead of night
Identifyin who is no mystery
They’ve got files on you full of history
Yeah I hear you
But just the same
I prefer you don’t call me
By my government name
There’s nothin that you’re doin
That they don’t know
Besides they’ve even got you
On video
And snitches that’ll tell ‘em
All they need to know
So if you ain’t aware
Then you must be slow
There are fewer secrets
Out on the street
Then you’re likely to find cops
Walkin' a beat
If it becomes necessary
I’ll repeat
Must I still hip you (to the game)
They already know your government name
Yeah I hear you
But just the same
I prefer you don’t call me
By my government name
****** always tryin to be
So secretive
Do ya really think
They don’t know where you live
Even what you carry
A gat or shiv
See they also know
What you’re about
And who receives the packages
That you give out
And just in case you still have any doubt
They’ll put a tail on you
Via the usual route
So don’t go thinkin
Cos they call you *****
Your government name is hard for them to figure
Yeah I hear you
But just the same
I prefer you don’t call me
By my government name
See if it takes me spittin
A hot sixteen
For y’all to understand
Exactly what I mean
I’m prepared to do it
Cos I’m very keen
On avoidin all the ********
That I’ve seen
I know you have identities
You’d like to protect
And I’m not comin at cha
With disrespect
But if you think a street name
If some kinda shield
It’s high time that the truth
Of the matter be reveiled
Yeah I hear you
But just the same
I prefer you don’t call me
By my government name
If ya used a celly
Or a land-line phone
Then you need to know
That you weren’t alone
And if you’ve ever e-mailed
Anyone
Forgiddaboutit
Cos tha damage is already done
Today they have cameras (everywhere)
There’s eyes (up in the skies)
That you need to fear
Zeroed in on you (with a constant stare)
So don’t start pointin figures
Or start placin blame
Because the government
Always knew your name
Yeah I hear you
But just the same
I prefer you don’t call me
By my government name
I call ya by the names
That your mama gave ya
You’re crazy if ya think
That’s how popo made ya
Cos they already knew
Who you were and (where you hanged)
They even knew the (names and numbers)
Of the chicks you banged
So you may think what you’re doin
Is really on the low
But that only goes to show
You don’t really know
I guess that’s why people say
Ignorance is bliss
Though that applies to a lot of things
It certainly does to this
Yeah I hear you
But just the same
I prefer you don’t call me
By my government name
This is for my ******
Who might need some schoolin'
With their different street names
Who y’all foolin
It’s high time
That you peep it
Your government names
Ain’t no secret
What’s the point of having one anyway
Who you think invented (AKA)
They can capture you
From a satellite
Doin it under the covers
In the dead of night
Identifyin who is no mystery
They’ve got files on you full of history

Singing high to Fernando and dancing down low in Orlando
When ecstasy suddenly turned to tragedy
They were just out bopping, then he came out just popping
The pulse was beating, while he was out cheating
His wife new about his scouting
But she never thought 'bout the victims
That the families would be counting
Forty nine were just out to dine and wine
Fifty or so, still lying so low, feeling not so fine
He tried to crawl out, just after his last shot
Popo's saw him on the floor and said no more
Put a bullet in his *** the same place he liked it, that's for sure.

yo since i had no choice but to rep **** life
drugs n alcohol became my wife
though im stressed
through the curses of ham
its the summer of sam and still i slam
my adversaries get the gasoline soak em along with kerosene
light em up and watch em go in flames ******* know my name
since i escape the reign
no longer got dibs on me
im livin' carefree
but still feel consolidated to satans invisible penitentiary
so.many brothers like me
wanna speak free
but all they see is the cemetery
**** it i shot the sheriff and the deputy
feelin' that ***** Marley talkin' to me
Through **** and hennessey
aint no more fear
mama still lookin' for me but i aint here
my heart left long ago I feel no sorrow
and if i die dont cry for me tomorrow
just know
i stayed true to the game
i dont care about how long my reign will last? im.a blast from.the past
born in the wrong century
yo i know ya feeeeel me
and all my real ******
doing yo thang
how about we load up slugs in the popo brains im.insane
product of Jesus that ***** died at thirty three
now how many niggus died before thirty three
defamin' our savior name
he was black as can be
skin made a bronze eyes of blazin' fire
look how they treated our messiah
they didnt give ****
fools sellin' out for paper bucks
only for the devil to exchange ya soul quid pro quo all i know
is imma be real.with mine and if they cross that line
ill.put em.on the flat line and if i die in the line
of fire ill be reincarnated as a ak 47 round pound for pound
puttin' these snitches n ******* in the ground
Who wanna scrap?
bunch of city politicians talkin' crap
and just know if they watchin' me they watchin' you???
and if they come for me just know they coming for you
Since im a lost son of a prophet
hard to knock it if it wasnt true the media wouldnt use us for profits
house nigguhs givin' up ***
with no hesitation
**** that ill **** the ***** of the plantation
divide n conquer is oldest trick in the book
know who's the fuckin' crook?
watch out for these jealous *** bustas
cuase when it comes to snaps
theyll make hell for a hustlaaaaa

Blue and red flashing through his window
Ran away from the popo
Gasping
Cause' his wind's low
A loser in jail
But he has a chance
He could win though
Opened the door
And let the wind blow
Howling of the hound
Front door down
Police get in
Guess what?
No sound
Fast footsteps on the ground
Of the young **** who was bound
To be in school
But he took it like a joke
Ha ha
Pro clown
Running through the bush
Blood hounds behind
Adrenaline pumped by the fear
Running in his mind
Yeah he was cruel minded
But his love was one of a kind
This love was caused by the one inside....
Of the bag
Using...
Helicopter spotlights
Geographical spot heights
Cause' they knew this criminal was not light
What they were doing was not right
After a while he took a shot right
Through his heart then his eyes went low
Like smoking *** sight
The police surrounded the lying body
Blood on the floor
Bullets in his leg, arm, shoulder
And in his heart was number four
This time the popo were raw
No smackdown just ********
Dead was the ****
Everyone was sure
After a while of silence
After a while of pure silence
A crying voice went out
Everyone knew it
No doubt
One of them opened the bag
It was a lady
No one thought it would be possible
It was a baby

Tell me how we got here
Tell me that you still care
I know you don't
But I just try to front like nothings wrong
Did it hurt when you held me?
Is that why you stay away?
I could say it but you won't believe me
You say you do, but you don't deceive me
Is my skin covered in thorns
Broken, ripped and torn
Your skin must be worn off
Awake but its like a lucid dream
I might be trippin but my mama don't know
I'm dilated see the evidence
The popo's keep starin at us
Locals glarin at us
I'll bite the bullet, kiss the rifle
Sip the poison like this
Drug dealers wanna be my friend
But I'm not here to pretend
Mix up that potion
Pop a pill and I'm rollin
Nightmares at midnight
I don't know where I'm goin

Yes, I am your chosen kingpin
My Hollywood name is Mr. La La
I don't need to listen to ****
Because all ya barber is blah blah
I take whatever hood rat that want to come
Just don't try and steal my hard earned bling bling
You're so friggin dope. Well thank ya my beloved sister girly
You remind me of an ex Brady, she too was a ***** little birdie
Come into my crib and I shall show ya the best time
Grab a smoke and choke on that hot *** it won't cost ya a dime
Ride by done while on kids bicycles are just so insane, it seems
Leaves images I witnessed, carved into my crazy nightly dreams
The wild streets aren't designed for everybody out there, but me
That's why they invented plain old grey sidewalks, for free
I feel totally naked without it, I'm not a bad **** ***** turtle
That's what my momma once said, but even I'm shell shocked, can ya tell?
But what you see, is what it really means, or so it should
So yes! It's good to be the king of the whole **** hood
One day I spilt the beans on some loyal corner crew boys
I told the popo, I know that's so lo lo, but they killed using one of my toys
If your not encouraged in life as a child, like most of us
You'll always be in a cage as an adult, so what's the big fuss?
Attacking Mr. La La's crib and forced his family out, without a touch of doubt
Nobody likes a smelly snitch, for they will be hunted down and blacked out
They chose a new leader of the team and told him, you better be able to cope
But he was a brother who never really new how to tie up all the loose rope
I came on back and killed the whole **** hood
A true gangsta has pride and does what he should
I just rode on by in my sleek black low riding convertible Jaguar cat
Shot up and even sliced up all those former ****** of mine, and that's that.

I asked the question, where ya bounce?
My mami was lazy peepin on the new big tymer, cruizin' thru town
She said he was crunk, like out of this world
They were just poppin' the trunk and keeping it real
My boys were sketchin' and should've just chopped it up
My favourite souljas, now goin' to Angola for a 187 on the third coast
You think she's all that
But ya girlfriends so stupid
Da first time she used a ********
She cracked her two front teeth
The third coast is where people get crunked up, be grilled out and ride on slabs
Down in Texas where they wear those big belt buckles and jam to *****
Those cowboys just pop and splash everywhere, over the hood
That's what ya don't know, 'bout da ***** south 3rd coast
They have some crazy **** parties
Drive some fine ******* and cars with gold grillz
As well as sporting huge silly fat **** rims
Backwash swamps and even some back alley gators
I get my corner boys to sell da home-made ice cream
I'll make sure they don't come anywhere near your cut
I also sell on eBay, a little one kilo of high flyin' kite
I've also tried to sell the sweets on corners of my streets
But the boys try the **** **** before they sell and get so really cromp
I can't have em leanin', ya all know what I be meanin'
You think she's all that
But ya girlfriends so stupid
Da first time she used a ********
She cracked her two front teeth
After the show we caught the dude that slapped my sista and made her face hot
But before we wrecked him, we visited the famous White Castle burger spot
Where we ate those famous but small burgers that only cost 35c, cheaper than ***
The popo said, is you trazy, we just smiled and kept on eatin' the lot
The cops tried to grab us, but they didn't have nathan on us. What ya got?
They have some crazy **** parties
Drive some fine ******* and cars with gold grillz
As well as sporting huge silly fat **** rims
Backwash swamps and even some back alley gators
Ya gotta love southern hospitality
Depending on where you go in the south
It could be a, ‘Hi, let me get that for you dear’
To, "If you don't stop staring at me I'm gonna shoot you in the face"
So I know the ledge and have got an edge
Over all the other big tymers down in the ***** south 3rd coast.
