My World; Don't Ask

come, follow me  
I'll show you the streets of Tri-Cites
Show you the Castle Of Dreams
walk with you over and under the Blue Bridge
come follow me I'll show the flowing sea of wheat
follow me, ever tried a fresh homemade tamales?
I know a place where they'll give them to you for free
just come follow me
don't stare, don't you dare
they will kill you out right
so don't go starting a fight
don't you see his blade?!
dumb boy just shut up and follow me
I got protection see?
none of them won't dare mess with me
they all know my mom see?
I'll take you to the Farmers Market nothing is artificial here
doesn't it smell good? it all comes from around here
our desert provides, it just needs to be treated right
the girls are all so pretty,the boys are nice and hot
act like you belong, but please stop acting like a complete moron
come with me, I'll show everything that's dear to me
don't ask why none of the parks have no swings
don't ask what that tag on the train means
don't stare at the dude who's staring at you
don't honk if the person in front of you doesn't move
don't ask about the mutilated school bus in that persons yard
don't ask why that persons not blinking
do not wave at the police, do you want to get us arrested?!
oh look! the ice cream man!  
dude, he's not going to be able to answer you,  
he doesn't speak english,  
why do you think he has all those pictures of his cold sweets?
watch that little boy's hands
he's faster then he seems
don't insult any of these kids  
we DO NOT KNOW WHO their parents are
don't look at me like I'm crazy
I was raised this way
walk with confidence, show no fear, stand with pride
see a guy with a tear?  
show some respect if you know whats good for you
everyone is connected here
so treat everyone with equal respect or you better cower in fear
yeah there's worse places and better places but none of them are my dessert, my home
