Cover that Boody
Boys let their pants sag
Men use a belt
Boys minds are helter skelter
They need some help.
Men are responsible
It shows in their dress.
Boys are lost - they don't know it
So they look a mess.
Boys, pull your pants up!
Keep that boody covered.
Look like you were loved
And raised by a mother.
Some may not have had a mom
But that is no excuse.
They still have their own mind
They have their own juice.
So let boys be boys
And when they become men
They'll automatically understand
And pull up their pants again.

Stranger Fruit
Ghetto trees bear stranger
fruit.
Flowers die quickly from
death to their roots.
Poison was fed to these young
plants at birth
They’re wanting flourish but
are dying of thirst
And hunger for knowledge as
to how they should grow
‘Cause the gardeners tending
them truly don’t know.
Now those tending at times
are nowhere to be found.
Or they’re casting their seed
into unprepared ground.
Instead of love making ready
the soil,
The process became a
laborious toil.
These unknowledgeable gardeners
take no time with their plants.
True growth? Doesn’t stand a chance.
Plants need their gardeners
in order to thrive.
How else is the next
generation going to survive?
But survive they do in this
tumultuous world
And their vibrant colours all
tend to swirl
Creating a color that’s
dismal at best.
The little plant is tired and
it just wants rest.
But there’s no rest for the
weary and this little plant’s tired.
It knows it will grow and has
great desire
To be something wonderful but
not knowing how,
Its lot is a litter garden – (k)no(w) progress, (k)no(w) how.
