I was born into trouble
Breaking ground like a steam shovel
Broke glass in a rock throw
Go see the principle
Born on good dope
Mama hooked on soaps
The life of white folks
Lucy Ricardo
Feeling like I’m in a séance
Imaginary friend told me to
Write on walls with crayons
Strike matches and burn the house down
Cuss the teacher out and throw chairs down
Say cheese then frown
Form a gang and run the playground
Kicked out expelled
Kicking over garbage pales
Too late maybe there’s time
Before DVD’s rewind
Play the whole tape through
Traumatized by the age of two
Handing out colorful balloons to junkies
Piggybacking monkey’s
Calling white folks honkeys
