dat ting dat stinks

sometimes i smoke
dat ting dat stinks
i love dem pills
dem blues dem pinks
my daddy says
‘you drinks you burn’
to which i say
‘pop, take your turn’

there must be more
to life than this
or am i dumb
to think it’s cool
to dis the wise
and take the piss
to just be numb
and play the fool
