Special

SPECIAL

No matter da body
Be it common     unusual     or beautiful
Many up close say he special

Oh he selfish    proud    crude    mean
    even crimnal    but
God bless
He be special

Maybe it be da way he smile
Or da way he frown and plead
When day put him in jail –
      he so sorry he will change his style

Or maybe it be da way he make up
After he beat up his wife

Oh he be on heroin    but
He will share 

Nothin bad nobody say mean crap 
Dat sucker can rap

Dave  Austin

Carolyn Devonshire March 5, 2017 at 1:42 PM Daver, you have captured the rhythm (and grammar) of rap perfectly. It's almost like - so what if he beats his wife and poisons his body with heron. He can rap! Nice twist of humor here, my friend. I'm in football withdrawal. Can't wait for fall! Love, Carolyn Daver Austin March 6, 2017 at 1:47 PM Thanks for the visit, and hooray for football.
