Sip the juice cuz I got enough to go around,
And the thought takes place uptown
I grew up on the sidewalk where I learned street talk,
And then taught to hawk New York-
I go to Queens for queens to get the crew from Brooklyn,
Make money in Manhattan and never been tooken,
Go Uptown and the Bronx to boogie down,
Get strong on the Island, recoupe, and lay around.
Time to bulid my juice back up-
Props back up, suckers get smacked up
I keep cheddar cheese
Goldfish in my bag
Every so often when I’m feeling
Listless I put my hand in
My bag and touch the goldfish
I know each one by their
Curves and whether they
Have been partially eaten
Sometimes when things get
Really tough at work I bring
The bag into meetings
My colleagues think I’m
Looking for a pen or a paper
When I reach into the bag
But I’m really singing
Quiet songs like twinkle twinkle
Because that’s what they
Like the most.
I study advanced calculus on the train
Eventhough I took it during
My senior year in high school
No matter because you can
Never get enough review
That’s what my mother used to say
When she forced me to study
Math and science and numbers
When all my friends were playing
Now I get to go out without
A chaperone to the library
Or to school and sometimes to
Go shopping on flatbush avenue
