BLOWING PAPERS, CARDBOARD BOXES: URBAN TUMBLEWEED
THE KIDS CALL ME GENE WASHINGTON BUT MY REAL NAMES IS "GRIEVES"

I SEEN 'EM HUFFING KEYBOARD CLEANER TRYING TO GET LOOSE
ME I LIKE THE SISTERS DOWN HERE … CHECK OUT HER CABOOSE

25TH AND BONAPARTE … I STOOD HERE SINCE CARTER
"DID YOU SEE KEEPERS?" … "DEPENDS WHO'S ASKIN'…
HAVE YOU GOT CASH TO BARTER?"

WHERE WERE YOU IN '60 WHEN MY BROTHER TOOK FIVE SHOTS
NOTHING RANKLES MORE THESE DAYS THAN BLACK SKIN ON A COP

I TOLD 'EM SO BUT NO ONE CARES
I TOLD 'EM SO - COME ON, I DARE YOU …

IF CASH AIN'T IN THE CARDS TODAY … A BOTTLE WOULD BE FINE
SURE, I SAW KEEPERS AT 6:30 … GHETTO STANDARD TIME

D.A. SAYS I'M RELIABLE THOUGH MY NERVES ARE STARTIN TO GIVE
I'VE WATCHED 'EM DROPPED LIKE FLIES ROUND HERE … THAT BROAD
DESERVED TO LIVE

I TOLD 'EM SO …
