Black Male

Alfred Charles Jr 1978 (Great Lakes)



Be better.
Believe Bae body fit me like a sleeve.
Slutty as can be,
But baybee you living with me.
I said, “Say, go pick a tree.”
She said only flowers for me.
Pay for honey’s tea,
But coffees a merchant fee.
Doing ‘dozia’, disorder, disloyal, disarmed, disease…
Putting proper problems priority; privacy, please?!
Free, yo, kick a beat, or some college karaoke keys.
Coke is dope, sweet, dark, delicious, as liquid freeze.
Don’t leave it in the freezer, or you’ll need:
A Woman who can tell you how to keep it cleaner.
Seven days gone by, now properly thank the teacher.
Comedy claimed the perspective in your brain.
Now you own a whole dang million dollar food chain.
