And the Priest go
OOOOHHHHH!!!
And the Priest go
OOOOHHHHH!!!
When the hurricane blew thru Philly town
blood washed down
into the gutters
there was a 4 year old black boy
named Raheem
he was left outside to be blown away
a sacrifice to Hades
by his crack addicted unwed mother
In that house over yonder
a homosexual named William lived
to those of us who don't abide by the jive
them Religious cats talk about
he was like us, one and the same
3 young cats fresh outta jail
poured gasoline on his body
and set him aflame
smoking blunts
eating lunch
enjoying the death throes
and echoes
of William's final pain
and the Rabbi go
OOOHHHHHH!!!
and the Rabbi go
OOOHHHHHH!!!!
When the hurricane blew thru Philly town
even the yuppies weren't safe
no one was left to save
my old friend Jimmy went down
to Fernwood Cemetary
and excavated his Momma bones
from the grave
seems she was buried with a ring
he could sell
hey, a brother gotta pay his debt
for frollicking in Hell
it's just as well
it's just as well
There was a young waitress
in Northern Liberites
a beautiful young spirit
her name was Rose
always had a smile reserved
she could even make Satan laugh
he always talked about the
red polish she wore on her toes
late the night of the Hurricane
she was riding home on her bike
stopped and spoke to a 15 year old cat
she always snuck him restaurant food
cuz he was the kind of black boy
no one liked
but that night he was feeling out of sorts
strangled her
stabbed her 15 times
and raped her corpse
I heard Satan testified against him
at the trial
even the Devil didn't want
that sick bastard in Hell
it's just as well
it's just as well
and the Imam go
OOOHHHHHH!!!!
and the Imam go
OOOOHHHHH!!!
Hurricane wind and rain
wash the bloated bodies away
Hurricane wind and rain
keep the stench down for one more day
saw Lucifer at Rose's memorial site
this morning
leaving a blood red rose
asked him why
he looked up at me
shook his head
and started to cry
and Satan go
OOOOHHHHH!!!!
and Satan go
OOOHHHHHH!!!
