Yo Mum
I wanna be a rap musician
I wanna astonish, wanna turn it on,
Wanna prove my glory days ain’t completely gone.
Gonna strutt my stuff in front of Surly Mike,
Take centre stage and take a heelclicking hike.
Say Yo Mother, check out this aging chick
Your daughter’s hot and trippin’ and this ain’t no hippy trick.
Stab my fist in the air like it’s an underscore
Take my time to say the line, fixin’ on a sultry stare.
Squat down, leather heels, short skirt, and shout like it’s not fair
I can’t be white and not be square but what do I truly care?
