Heard a million feet
Goin pitter patter
4 in the mornin
When I emptied my bladder
I cut the light on
All the roaches scattered but one
He looked up and said
Hello son
I'm Richie the Roach
Nice ta meet ya
I dig the stuff U wrote
Here this blunt is almost done
Wanna toke,
No..okay, listen
Phweeuuuuaaa!! **cough**cough**cough**
Man good ..ish, Literally!
Anyways, U and me gotta
Have a little talk
See my whole crew outlined in chalk
Not good 4 U, not kool at all
Next time I see this
My ladies will lay eggs on the steps
Make ya take a fall
Capice?
Ummm..yes Sir
Good boy
Now go get Ur shinebox or sumthin
Damn!
Did a roach just hit me wit a line from Goodfellas?
That's Roach-etti 2 U ya black punk
And don't U 4get it!!
Yes sir..
Walked n2 the alley
Saw Delvin the Rat
Gettin his tail braided makin time
With Frisky the cat
Yo, Del what up
Ain't y'all supposed 2 be like oil and water?
Ssshhhh..don't tell nobody D'ee
But Me and Frisky have a daughter
Remember the nite Ur mom
Threw out ya daddy rum?
Well I thought
What the hell
Lemme go git some
I started pantin and sweatin
Don't know what got n2 me
Next thing ya know
I'm sleeping with the enemy!
I do worry bout how a bi-racial
Rat-cat will survive
But at least from Frisky
She inherited 9 lives
Kool Del...ummm..what do ya want me
2 get 4 the baby
DIAPERS D'ee
Soiled if ya can find em
Went 2 the playground
Met up with Frankie the wino
And Albert the crack head Albino
Frankie said Son come here 4 a sec
Got some advice
So U can come correct
Yes sir
Always remember womens is like
Gov'ment cheese
U can bake em,shake em,flake em
Do as U please
But in the end they bounce back
N2 shape
Cuz like Gov'ment Cheese
Womens don't break
Got that?
Ummmm..yeah thank. U Mr.Frankie
No prob, Ur a good kid
Al ya got anyting ta say 2 this kid?
Yeah,
Now D'ee don't grt mad
It wasn't me
BUT
Do U have a warranty
On yo big screen T.V.?
No?
Its okay I'll use Ur computer
Now spell yo last name
Livin inthe ghetto was kinda fun
And a trip
When I wasn't on the run
Or holdin a grip
Every single block
Got a story 2 tell
All the Hood go 2 Heaven
Cuz the ghetto is Hell
By the way next time
U see Richie the Roach
Tell him I got some bug spray
4 that shinebox joke
