good jobs

Post by saw » July 17th, 2011, 11:24 am

selling crack in the hood
is more than viable employment
it's the biggest show on earth
in the district of the abandoned

who gives a flying fuck
if another young black male kills
another young black male
the scourge is taking care of itself

one less soul in the wipe-out
on ghetto beach by indifferent umpires
it's really a tough call
choosing an option

death in the hood
death in the joint
death to gangstas
death to masters

or one can escape it all
on the mickey-d train
if'n you can get back and forth
to work in one piece that is

" hey, did you hear the news brother?"

"what's that?"

" they're building a brand new body bag factory right down on the corner !"

" no shit man, finally some good fucking jobs!"
If you do not change your direction
you may end up where you are heading

and as the band "war" pointed out forty years ago,
the world is a ghetto...
