OG'N

Written By:  D. Collins 2/17/24


O.G. is O.G.'n born and raised.
Looking over my shoulder just in case.
There are multiple factors trying to do us in.
Including police, mayors, and most white men.
A short, black, woman taught me how to keep it in check.
Creep up on them where the enemy least expects.
Do it with passion using Civil Rights law.
That's when you reveal who and what you are.
If not for the business of underground trade?
How else can an O.G. ever be made?
When an O.G. falls they tend to fall hard.
Giving everything they had in the name of God.
