1990's Beat Nick

Much I marveled the stereo rap Fallow falling into civil traps My mind always strays to ghetto Remembering many sound, fatherless folk They are perfumed from unseen yoke What could there be more purely woke? Where’s my money yo! I felt obliged to not admire the folk Yet I stick them, I stick em… I crave the civil injustice, so accustom to classical music I remember I was thumbing Playin the bass line bum, bum, bum- bum,bum My mind stays strays to ghetto Man you such a lucky fellow To sit out here on yo porch listen in to yo rap

I love the term beatnik. I am going to use that in a poem now. I had forgotten Dobie Gillis and his friend Maynard until this poem!
