Just Looking Out Of The Window

Just looking out of the window…

Watching the asphalt glow
From supporting the weight of all the stones mean mugging folks
And the babies mommas holding babies on they hips
Smacking on bubble gum and flaming hot chips
Swearing this life is the shit cause they hollering at the chief
holding down the block
and the fate of those heading to cell blocks

Just looking out of the window
Watching souls of black folk
and babies pretending to have a childhood
playing behind steel bars on the first floor.
While they mommas hang out on the front porch
Yelling sit y’all asses down.
And they coming down off they high…
Wishing they self-esteem could get that high.

Just looking out of the window
Watching the neon lights flashing
OPEN signs seducing with promises
Link accepted here.
Single squares and malt liquor beer.
Black and Mild get smoked ghetto style
Only the strong and black survive here.

Just looking out of the window
Watching a bike get stole
Seeing lil man and ‘em stand in the freezing cold
And rain
Just so they can make it rain
Like Lil Wayne.
But all they doing is bringing pain
Actin insane in the membrane
Queens stripping dignity away giving brain

And that’s why so many refuse to remain.


Just looking out of the window…
Makes you wanna close your eyes…
And pray.
