Before We Take a Beatdown

The streets have got me, gave up the monotony Please don’t try and stop me, cause it’s you and not me And now I’m buyin’, you won’t see me cryin’ Now I’m really flyin’, party’s now a fryin’ The sons are singin’, now my ears are ringin’ Company’s a stringin’, grillin’ and a blingin’ We all a cribbin’, nothin’ but ad libbin’ Eatin’ candy ribbon, tippin’ for the trippin’ But then I saw her, working on the corner Gotta try and warn her before I have to mourn her Cause she’s my sister, lookin’ for a mister Gonna pop a blister, really gonna twist her Here come the five-o, now she gonna dive, oh Into the drive, yo, better she’s alive though What is the reason, we sufferin’ this season The air is just a teasin’, a thirst that just ain’t easin’ I’m gonna save her, call in every favor Give up on this flava’, ain’t gettin’ any braver We goin’ home now before we take a beat down Gotta put our feet down, headin’ for the sweet ground 3/14/18 Contest: Rapid Rhyme Sponsor: Brenda Chiri
