the ash on flatbush ave.

man down comp......  
   
sista looked good  
in that suit skirt with stockings  
for the first time  
in a long time  
a 6 penny  
with a 4th sense outfit  
crossing that bridge  
for the big bad island home team  
   
but  
bet  
she  
don't want no  
knuckle draggin  
nose breathing  
know nothing  
jameson t shirt wearing
wanna be fishaman
fucking fenian fireman 
for a baby daddy  
   
until  
compact fractures  
internal bleeding  
only negative blood transfusions  
contusions  
all over  
   
redbeard deadlifted the concrete  
while another patty pulled rebar  
and jimmy done dragged shorty to safety  
2 other ol boys wore  
the whole fifteenth floor  
and she came home and opened a bar  
   
where the fuck is tommy gavin when you need him?  
   
everybody's uncle's and cousins drink too much  
and know somebody who got blown up  
you sign up  
order a double  
rub some fucking dirt in it  
and shut the fuck up
