Crazy On a Thursday
Everyday is a new day
Except Thursday the symptom always replay
Madness, mental instability, psychological disorder.
Call it what you may
It’s the same thing every Thursday
Her frienenemies taunted and teased her all day long
But on Thursday, they singing a different song.
A new girl came badder than the rest
Decided to give Swofiyah a test
She didn’t know the history behind the face
Even though they warned her “gal mind your place
If you continue to trouble Swofiyah
When Thursday come, you know
She a go do to you
But she didn’t listen
With exposed pearly white glistening
She continue teasing
She was having fun
But the rest couldn’t wait to see Thursday come
Swofiyah didn’t realized what was going on
All day she felt tired and sleepy, she a yawn
Thinking how lovely it would be to go back to her yard
Thursday came her mind clear
What did the little heifer said
I did not hear
“Fool, fool mad eeks go to Bellevue?”
Look how I’m going to make her think
Me a work Voodoo
Come here Pearly White you
Know me never trouble you
But every time you see me
You say sump’m
Look how you going to feel the little gal slap
Straight up to the grand father and back
Sit down there, let me fix my handicap
She went into her bag and took out some reinforcers
Pointing them to Pearly White who stood there frozen
I have the little boy and the big man teeth rattler
The mother and the father jaw buster
The grandmother and the grandfather neck breaker
Which one you want to sample?
Because you need to be taught a lessen
Pearly White saw her eyes for the first time
The color had changed and evil lurking behind
Darn it, I should have listened to what they say
Look at this obeah raas, is where she going with those, anyway?
What! You don’t know I can read mind too
If you say something else, I’m going to hit you
She decided to forego the reinforcers
Bent down and picked up the silencer
But as she looked up, she sight
Pearly White well shaped and beautiful
no overbite
She reached out and picked up the grandfather neck breaker
Strapped it on and said to Pearly White
This will teach you a lesson
She raised her hand and before Pearly could breathe
Wham! There goes the teeth
She took up her toy and aimed it at Pearly knees
Pulled the trigger and Pearly body hit the street
As Pearly wiggled from the pain
She replaced her tools and walked away having no shame
She stopped and turned to face the dumfounded crowd
Remember, anybody trouble me, as you see today
Just tell them to wait until Thursday.
