That Life
The
strong
and
the
hopeless
are
screaming.
Getting
strewn
out
by
harassment
by
the
season.
I
hate
cops
and
the
new
president
because
of
solid
reason.
Legalized
prostitution's
got
prostitutes
raped
by
the
cops.
Gays
molest
these
little
dudes
in
taverns
every
night,
they
never
stop.
Imagine
getting
hit
by
'muti'
lightning
as
you
try
reaching
the
top.
A
sandal-
weary
life
we
live
in
pride
because
we
like
the
complement
of
flops.
You
want
to
Jub-
Jub
your
Mini-
Coopers
in
our
kasies,
killing
our
kids.
Or
Metro
police
our
teenagers
in
African
influence
to
sell
sex
vids.
We're
not
even
passive
to
the
trauma
that
your
life
can
bring.
Let's
strangle
out
a
note
from
the
fat
lady
and
make
the
thin
woman
sing.
You
need
to
try
trampling
me
down
because
you
know
that
God
has
made
me
king.
If
you
mess
with
me,
I'll
appoint
a
thousand
gays
who'll
clap
you
till
you're
dead.
I
don't
need
to
be
a
Raggamuffin
Rastafarian
to
know
that
these
words
are
giving
you
dread.
Pope,
lif
up
uunu
hands
fi
stop
abuse,
nuh
lif
dem
up
fi
touch
likkle
pickney.
You
die
from
AIDS
and
all
of
a
sudden,muti
is
made
out
of
your
kidney.
