fancy flights

.

            go ahead
               laugh

            but i wuz

    i wuz born in prison
             e-block
          never mind

               at 3
    i wuz sent to juvie
          for stealing
 3 bubble gum machines
    front two hardware
    and one barbershop 
              fronts
 they caught me pulling
             my red 
          Radio Flyer
      with the gadgets
              in tow

     at 18 they sent me 
            up state
      for strong armed 
         bank robbery
               2-5
            out in 3

              at 26 
     back to population
         bank robbery
             5yearz

                32 
                fci
    fled state in pursuit
        armed robbery
          bubble gum
       machine factory
            25 yearz
             out 16
              thuh
   good behavior thingy

i'm think'n about run'n fo
         i meant for
          yes i did
              hm
          Congress



*y'all know this iz the double entendre

the "fancy flights" 1) the bubble gum heists in my
"red Radio Flyer" wagon; fleeing the scene and fleeing 
capture, armed robbery"bubble gum machine factory"
the "fancy flights" 2) i made it up(artistic license ')  shoot me ;)
