By H.M. Hunter for Street Gangs Magazine

listen to the story when

you hear the words

it's my way

black and white on the beat

wailin' in the street

aint enough to eat

on a monday

the sky way off cold blue

the sun rough

and burning through

the world is moving

sideways

just like everyday

be callin' this one tuesday

got to leave this hood

"cali never do you good"

what the old ones say

afraid and locked away

with some wise ways

"let me tell you 'bout the old days . . ."

look here now it's wednesday

all my grades have crashed

"your future's in the trash" 

why i care what teachers say

when they nay say

even though i write the killer essay   

so i'm stepping out the hard way

check it out it's thursday

they don't want you

when you blunder

and drag your talent under

lots of dues i have to pay?

will my nerves begin to fray?

what a shitty friday

(you know it could be any day)

all about my mind

my rhymes and not no crimes

that's my brother's way

Glass House from the CYA

now his ashes in the ocean spray

did it happen on a Saturday?

(does it matter anyway?)

i wake up on the sabbath

florence ave. and the traffic

god is angry with the ghetto

flashing money and the metal

still, i'm on my knees today

i fold my hands and pray

"let me have another week,

please, sunday"

(day before fuckin' monday)
