                   Summer Jobs

                   that winter robs

                   Public Schools

                   with Private Rules

                   Promote Mental Masturbation

                   Pay no heed

                   to a brother in need

                   Black Kings -Beatin' to

                   a frenzy in L.A.

                   to no yield

                   as we rape, mutilate

                   disembowel black queens

                   giving birth in Franklin-Field

                   1-2-3 Red Light



                   While others rape the minds of

                   our black children we rape

                   their souls

                   1-2-3 Red Light



                   We promise them protection

                   and prestige as member of

                   our gang- whilst we can

                   scarcely protect ourselves

                   1-2-3 Red Light



                   We abduct their mothers

                   abuse their sisters and

                   castrate their brothers

                   1-2-3 Red Light



                   We are a mighty people

                   black and don't give

                   a damn

                   committed to living

                   another man's sham

                   1-2-3 Red Light



                   We speak with eloquence

                   on how bad we are

                   defacing our forefather's talk

                   of unity

                   not a word of brotherly/sisterly

                   love do we breath

                   1-2-3 Red Light



                   Yes, its' a doggy-dog world

                   and the man is now screwing

                   dogs till' their wagging tail kurls

I've got to 1-2-3 Red Light myself so I can absorb it all. I'll be right back. I need a drink.
