i grew up chasing a street rep . . .
so i could be down with my peeps . . .
all my peeps grew up the same way . . .
it was all manufactured and fed to us all . . .
from boys in the hood to goodfellas . . .
in order to sell us malt liquor and jail bids . . .
even our conscious folks got captured by “revolutionary rhetoric” . . .
you never was a revolutionary . . .
you was backpacker with no strong father figure . . .
our egos are just a derivative of a derivative of a derivative based on fictional narratives . . .
it was fed to us all like fruit loops . . .
