2nd Amendment.. “Flipped”
a boy and a man
meet on a street..
on a corner they stand shoe to shoe,
on his hip
the man proudly displays
“amendment number two”,
the boy pulls a gun
and robs the man,
and now the boy has two..
the boy shouts
“up da money ol man
or i’ll bust “two” caps in you!!”,
the frightened man
hands over his cash,
the boy says “ yeah this will do!!”,
my dad has gone,
my brother is hungry,
and there is no money in school!”
a gun displayed
or on your hip
in this crazy “sign of the times”..
may have cost you
a half stack or more,
but now it’s not worth a dime,
your life could come
to a sudden end
by your worst mistaken slip,
i’ve witnessed this
with my own two eyes,
it really was a trip!
don’t have
500 bucks or more,
openly dripping off your hip,
baby may need
a new pair of shoes
and now you are the special hit,
heed the warning
and take my advice,
or your dignity may horribly be stripped,
cause this is how they really roll,
in the “Topsy Turvey Twilight Zone”
called..
“The 2nd Amendment.. Flipped ”.
