Mr John



”Mr John”



Looky here Mr John I’m bout ma bunezz not the game!

You don’t have to know my address and you don’t need to know my name!

Just call me  “Quiet as kept” because we doing this on the low!

I know you have a big career and family so you don’t want nobody to know!

I’m yours for the taking all you need is a couple bills!

We can meet up on the net, in bookstores, on steet corners and secluded hills!

I’m yo man for the moment,I got all you need!

Like you I have an agenda, your quick nutt means my family’s next meal indeed!

I’m addicted but not the way you think!

Survival is mandatory, always on the look out; can’t afford to blink!

I’m not your typical dope pheaning $5 dollar hoe, you’d proably be surprised to know I have a fulltime gig, a car and my own house!

See your secret fantasies aren’t all that’s in the closet , I have just as much at risk as you do in the event you’re found out  by your spouse!

I look like a kid but perform better than any adult!

Fuck me out my money and tragedy will be your result!

Hell no I don’t enjoy this but I gotta do what I gotta do!

I don’t expect you to give a damn about me because I could give a shit about you!

Make it quick because time is money, don’t think my time is undevided!

You’re just the next John um bout my paper and not ashamed so I don’t hide it!

Coming from a poor family and barely graduating from high school made me victim of my harsh environment and my current state of mind!

Don’t try to analyze me; it doesn’t take a genius to figure out that being from the streets means constantly being on your grind!

Rather than sell drugs or gun-point robbing mofos this was my conclusion.

Lack of hope for the future and stacked up bills makes it easy to resort to prostitution.

I always said “That would never be me” and now here I am a hypocrit!

My dream man was supposed to rescue me, but reality is don’t count on anyone else one bit!

I’ve seen the way you’ve looked at me from as early as when I was only 13 years old!

I never engaged you because the preacher man said if I did it’s cost me my soul!

You’ve tried to entice me from bus stops, as I walked home from school, even while I was at work.

I never thought of you as you more than a disguisting old pervert, until times got hard, so I disregarded the fact you’re a jerk!

Daddy is a stranger and moma struggling but I refuse to let her go without!

Yes outsiders judge me, but I’m taking care of family and am not affected by their opinions no doubt!

Ok Mr John you getting a little to personal I done told you to much bout me!

Knowing my background makes it no longer strictly business so now our arrangement is History!

Sometimes we gotta do what we gotta do. From the point of view of a man sacrificing his body for the sake of family.
