HOW TO BLUFF OFF THE CUFF You'd better be tough when the cops and the weather gets rough here there isn't any flight or fight that ain't right it's whatever our godless deities had already willed it's kill or be killed because no one here calls another's bluff just take life off the cuff because no one ever knows what another is thinking and for us there is no such thing as drinking we didn't drink our worries away until arrives the day when there's powder but you cannot get enough you'd better be tough scared you'd better be scared when a white powder's fangs are bared and no one gave a damn or cared size up every situation as if it were your last moment on earth as you curse your mother's womb for having cursed you with birth have eyes in the back of your head lest you end up darker than dead let your instincts rule and don't be anyone's fool so be cool since the day the white lady first stared you'd better be scared determined one must be determined to ease the pain and not end up just a stain a darkened mark on the ground where you once stood in a wretchedly and wicked neighborhood the hood ain't no good so find what you need with determination in your eyes and be wise be determined not to be beaten, slain or grabbed shoved into an alley with a 45 at your head or ready to be stabbed these things will happen, yes, even to you so be determined to do whatever you must do be determined these are all the things you must possess and allow the feelings of being wounded regress they start off their teenage years with a lot until they say yes to that very first shot © copy write 2012....PHREEPOETREE ~free cee!~
