East New York Utility Worker
Some offer you sex not to do
what you were sent there to do
or as a tip
pocketing the twenty dollars.
They’re gonna tell their old man
you shook them down for.
Others offer cocaine
amphetamines
marijuana
Telling you it’s on the table
take some for the head
just don’t be a pig
save a little for me
and eventually you learn
to do just that.
To take, to leave just enough
not to be considered that pig.
Here’s where you don’t want to be after dark.
Where currency aint always money.
Where one could easily grow addicted
to their rules of engagement
set and played
on a whole different level.
You were never prepared you for
in that introductory to gas appliances school
they sent you to.
