More
drama than Aldous Huxley and his New Brave World
These are the incidents
in the life of a Slave Girl
Not a funny sight
tried selling her body
to get her money right
Coldhearted, twenty-five
cents between her inner thighs
Nicknamed her Katwoman
because she had at least nine
lives
Used to be a shorty,
man how time flies
No role models for her
to look up
Only examples were the
cats that taught her the art of drug
cook-up
Muffins or whole cakes
is all she bakes
She used to hit me with
the Goodstuff in exchange for the latest
mixxtape
Shorty was out of this
world
These are just the Incidents
in the Life of a Slave Girl!
Verse two, and these
Incidents ain’t all good
Shorty was loved as
well as feared around the
neighborhood
On the block looking
for a soldier who won’t answer back
found him two days later
three shots point-blank range
through his Mets cap
Some said it was my
Slave Chick
Heat is increasing snitches
on the block droppin’ names
quick
Cops got the block hot
Got a late nite page
from Shorty, tellin’ me she wants to lay
low at my spot
Half of me thinking
Why?
The other half thinking
Why Not?
My
Shorty harm I didn’t want her to come to
Text message back and
told her come through
Last reply from my Slave
girl was “I Love You!”
Shorty was out of this
world
These are just the Incidents
in the Life of a Slave Girl.
Two hours later, two
blunts had me passed out
Raise off the couch
and go retrieve a Guiness Stout
Hit the Rasta for the
Fonta leaf
The dough and the heat
Between my skin and
my briefs
Cuz in these streets
You surely can’t
be caught asleep
In the hood only dirt
cover cats nappin’
Then before I knew what
happened
The unmistakable sound
of a Tech clappin’
A heavy dose
It sounded close
Made me feel glad that
I had the forty-five Mag
Better that than to
be found wrapped in a Glad Trash Bag
Copped a fifty Sack
Had to switch directions
and double back
Madd time passing got
me wondering where’s my Shorty at
Just then my stomach
did a loop
Nothing but Badges,
the Red and Blues crowded on my front stoop
Had to re-group
Fifteen shells found
at the scene
Eight went through the
driver’s side door of my Shorty’s
brand new Lex Coupe
Damn! Shorty was out
of this world
These are just the Incidents
in the Life of a Slave Girl!
