Roses are red new and improved

Frederick Lewis Blackwell 1986 (Detroit Michigan)



Bloody murders is red,
My lean is violet purple,
Every b-boy and metal head
Wants to mosh pit dive and breakdance,
Throw dat ass in a circle,
I'm smart and intelligent like Steve Urkel,
Not nerdy in fashion,
I'm a fighter and an introvert,
Cold hearted like an assassin,
Poetry and money are my true friends,
So as the food in my fridge,
Hell yeah I take mental health medication
To be stable,
So I won't act violent and jump off a bridge,
Jesus Harold Christ is an Angel,
God is a Supreme Human Being,
Satan is a bastard son,
Esham is the Unholy Acid Rap King,
Saints are true sinners,
Heroes are good samaritans,
But also a sandwich of a Philly cheese steak dinner,
Legends are a car,
But so are actors and rock stars,
Either in movies or playing a heavy metal guitar,
Death traps are lethal,
A casket is a dirt nap,
Rich and famous love life and luxury,
But I am a cheapo,
You probably didn't notice that,
The world is an oyster,
The shell is the crust,
The melting pot is the gumbo,
In the Almighty God of whom we trust.
