I was on the EL riding to a Cub’s game
There was this young brother talking some crazy yang
He spit for emphasis after every other point
Then he pull out a lighter and sparked up a joint!
He continued to talk about the government and God
When the contact buzz hit me, and I felt a bit odd
Then some of the points he made didn’t would so crazy
He spit on my shoe, but I was too tired or lazy
To interrupt his entertaining monologue of conspiracy theories
If he were more ambitious and charismatic, he could have a show or web series
His friends shared his chronic and nodded in agreement with his every proclamation
The future is doomed, stay in school kids - get an education!
