This is the poem that got me booed at the Apollo!

Everybody wants to feel important 

but they're not willing to endure the rigors of the mission 

We can't sit home watching television 

and think welfare is going to rectify our condition

Fronting like celebrities and making babies on top of babies

and can't feed the ones we already have 

We can make room for the rats and the roaches 

and our pit bulls make a nice bed for our pet fleas 

At the end of the week we buy beer and dog food with our food stamps 

While the children get a balanced breakfast of potato chips and Kool-Aid 

Everybody is trying to get rich quick, playing Quick Pick... 

But the next man is always the winner 

That game makes money off of poor people's misery 

and misery loves company 

That's why people that live alone talk a lot! 

I didn't get here in an inner tube just to become shark bait over the Atlantic 

I was born here!!!! 

In the core of the apple, at the pit of the borough 

I hung out with the rejects and the down trodden but this city was rotten before I was begotten 

So I ask you, am I the eye sore 

Just because I saw rats bigger than cats 

And a cool cat was the terminology to describe a friend, 

back in ‘76 

But now he's my dog 

my girl is my bitch

and my friends are my niggers 

I live underneath the under, at the bottom of the low 

I was eavesdropping on army ants as I tried to find a source of unity 

I bought a bus ticket, can't take it to the hereafter 

So I just settled in Philly 

And when I got there the same shit was going on, 

So I came back 

And the minute I stepped off the bus all I could hear was 

Excuse me, Brother 

Pardon me, Black 

Do you have a quarter? 

Do you have a nickel? 

Do you have a dime? 

Do you have a cigarette? 

Do you have a light? 

Do you have the time? 

Pray to Jesus 

Pray to Jehovah 

Pray to Jah 

Pray to Allah 

Pray to Guiliani because he thinks he's God ! 

99.9 percent of the people in this world are convincing back stabbers! 

Don't eat sugar 

Don't eat salt 

Don't eat pork 

Don't eat meat 

Save the dolphins 

Save the whales 

Save the children 

Save the rain forest 

Time out! 

If life is a game, whose playing? 

If we're a race, whose winning? 

Being that we're at the door step of technology, Scientists are trying to mock the womb of a woman and create children without the act of sex 

Viagra will be for some rich jerk that just wants to get his dick up 

Then jack off in a jar and freeze his bastards to insure he has an heir to his crown 

Everyone listen up… 

Every mind is a world and only you can make you happy 

Just don't bother me with it!!!
