the near north
I’m sick of
Sistahz with Attitudes
Who rudely stick their hand
In your face
And say stupid sh*t like
“Talk to the hand”
Then get mad
When they get
Slapped the ***** out

They’re not the only ones with an attitude

And I’m sick of
Homeless people
Asking for help on a
Cold one
When I’d gladly help them to a
Hot meal
Any day

Do you feel me?

I’m tired of good women
Falling for bad men
And going
Boo hoo
When they get hurt…again

And I’m sick of good men
Falling for bad women
And ending up in prison
Coz Jody came around
Once too often

I’m tired of jokers
And wanna be hustlers
Trying to hustle me for my PAPER
Like money grows on trees
And I’m tired of
Telemarketers
Who interrupt my
Quiet time
And salesmen who won’t let me
Make up my own mind

I didn’t wanna go there…but

I’m tired of
Poverty and
Injustice and
Racism and
People who refuse to
Acknowledge that racism
Exists and
My people putting “ME” down
While I’m trying to lift “US” up

I’m tired of free sh*t
With hidden requirements
And costly sh*t
You can get for free
But no one told me

I’m tired of
Young folk crying ‘bout
What they don’t have and
Old folk
Crying ‘bout what they can’t give
The young folk

And I’m tired of
A system of justice
That condemns US
For being US
And wants US
To trust in it

Ain’t that some bullshyt

I’m tired of PLAYAZ
Complaining ‘bout HATERZ
Hating on them
And not the game

Like it’s actually a game going on

I’m sickened by
Healthy men standing on
Street corners
Looking for handouts
No doubt
A job would help them out
Tremendously

You feeling me?
