Scuffed Tims

I’ve scuffed my Tims on the boulevard of broken dreams and such,

During sleepless nights where brothers like us don’t dream that much,

In the third world,

The one down the street from the metropolis,

Around the corner from the burbs so the cops are watching us,

Dwelling in the “City of Gods”,

No subtitles to this flick though,

Same ol’ nigger shit,                               

Just that Hip Hop replaced calypso,
Bums digging for crumbs,

Fiends thievery and schemes,

I’ve scuffed my Tims on the boulevard of many a broken dreams,

 

The ghetto has been my canvass,

The paint has been my blood,

My daddy left my mommy,

So I was never taught to love,

The world could never understand us,

We rebel’s without a cause,

Black Gods, Latin Kings, No Justice in White Laws,

 

                                                                             

I’ve killed with the killers,

Dealt with the dealers,

I’ve been called a porch monkey,

I’ve hung with gorillas,

I’ve hustled with the hustlers,

I’ve shot with the shooters,

I’ve won with the winners,

I’ve lost with the losers,

I’ve been a bum digging for crumbs,

Fiends thievery and schemes,

I’ve scuffed my Tims on the boulevard of many a broken dreams,

 

Prolitariate still,

Steering Cadillac wheels,

Rat a Tat from the steel,

As the envious kill,

Bougie don’t share their wealth,

Only caring for delf,

Seems that we’ve lost our village,

Seems that we’ve lost ourself,

 

Proletariat still, get me

Steering Cadillac wheels, quickly

Rat a tat from the steel, miss me

As the envious kill, many

Bougie don’t share their wealth, really

Only caring for delf, sinning

Seems that we’ve lost our village, Completely

Seems that we’ve lost ourself, reach me

 

Reach Us who’ve
