On a street corner
\nthat could be any street corner
\nin any city, in America
\nstands an urban ghetto youth
\nhe shouts out ethnic \/ ebonic slogans
\nthat are typically, barely understandable
\nToo most middle class white suburban ears
\n“Yo biotch ass mutha-fucka!”
\n“wuz a candy coated cracker ass white boy doin in dis here part uv town?”
\nI push all things aside
\nI have my standard issue charcoal filtered Old English
\nand my trusty 9mm by my side
\nstroll up coolly and say
\n“Get me another 40 and a quick fix if you can”
\nI tilt my head back
\nfinishing off the last 10 ozs in one swallow
\nand wallow my way to Chucks Super Soul Food
\nfor a plate of ribs
\n“Hey Chuck” I say
\n“The usual, well done but not to done”
\n“And your special homemade hickory bbq sauce to go” <\/p>\n
\nAfter I get my delicious plate of bbq ribs
\nI walk out to see the ghetto boy looking nervous
\nhands in his pockets, trying to avoid all suspicions of the law
\nI hand him a roll of 20’s in exchange for an 8ball
\nafter thumbing through the cash
\nthe 40 was on the house he said
\nI walk back to my new sports car
\nnow missing it’s gold plated hubcaps
\nboot up, shoot up
\nand drive home happy
\nback to my safe middle class white sub urban lifestyle.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
