Side Show

Hurry, hurry…Come one, come all

Gather around quickly for it's the last call

Step right up for the DUMBEST show on Earth

To show to the skeptical what can become an entire Culture's curse.

Wonder why people put black youth down

Maybe because their content with acting like clowns

Clowns equal…

Loud laughs, Clothes that don't fit and floppy shoes

The Hood is where they dare to do…

Saggy pants, Colorful kicks and frizzy fro-hair do's!

While gigglin' be willin' to look closer and you'll see

How much more like a Circus the Hood looks to be

In the Circus…we have

Crazy looking cars with countless riders and smoke

You think The Hood's Stars with…

Over-sized tires, spinners; ridin' dirty and deep is any less of a joke?

No women high in the sky with the greatest of ease

Only strugglin' strawberries buzzing through the Hood high as a trapeze

While every circus is meant to boost the fun meter

In every hood the Dope Man is the dumb stuff Ring Leader

And if we're not careful about what we say, wear and do

We could be perpetual Hood Participants all caught up in this Circus-like Zoo.

Without the…

Back breaking Contortionists

Pressed Gypsies and Wild animals

But with…

Money making Extortionists

Half-dressed Hoochies clamoring for anything tangible

Where fun is done and No One makes much cheddar
