|
Supreme talks about his baby's mother like a whore. |
|
Sweet 16 she is, |
|
with future uncertain, |
|
love incomplete. |
|
Soapy days for Jr. and she. |
|
At 3, Supreme comes to give his boy a pat and a pound, |
|
put his hoodie on the couch, |
|
his Timberlands up on the coach |
|
so his bitch can bring him a beer. |
|
' So, this is the Nuclear family? |
|
Mommy, baby... and |
|
Daddy makes a mess of his baby's mother's hair as they fuck |
|
'til her mother comes in from work. |
|
She's playing house, |
|
he's playing man |
|
and Jr. is the only one who accepts he's just a child. |
|
Wild nights she had with a swish of her stuff, |
|
knocked up to a waddle, |
|
a baby carriage bustle |
|
and still gets her play. |
|
But her dream is true romance... |
|
well sorta |
|
Everyday from 3 to 6. |
|
Supreme leaves out before Mommy comes kick his lazy narrow behind back onto the street. |
|
He's not a corner boy. |
|
The bodega in the 40's is midblock where bullets flock, |
|
no names engraved and he may be next. |
|
Shielded by the patron saint of the brothers. |
|
Being there is all there is. |
|
Living lovely without turning the corner, |
|
reaching for a swig brings sweat to his brow and shit to his mouth, |
|
dispelling knowledge on the stuffs, |
|
the pleasing things the baby's mother do, |
|
dousing the sidewalk with wretch of a boy/man, |
|
breaking Friday night to seek manhood in a paper bag. |
|
Says, "Fatherhood is real cool |
|
and the kid looks like me so she better not let nothing happen to him or I'm a gonna kill the bitch." |
|
Sudden twitch to the roll of the wheel, |
|
trained steel stained blue puts |
|
punk on the wall for some trumped up call from precinct 101. |
|
Monday at 3, |
|
the baby's mother waits, |
|
Jr. in her arms, patiently at the door, |
|
doesn't know what she misses. |
|
Locked into the routine, |
|
a project queen. |
|
Supreme rode off into the sunset with a 3 to 6 all his own. |
|
Took a week for her to find out, |
|
a minute to promise devotion, |
|
her life on hold as Supreme calls checking on his boy |
|
(and the baby's mother). |
|
Life on the outside ain't even worth it. |
|
Shit. |
|
Who screwed whom? |
|
There's not enough room in the pen for them both to stay locked into their little worlds they will. |
|
Leather gear, X skullie, Size 2 Docs. |
|
Man, Jr.'s the fliest shit in nursery care. |
|
Paid for by W.I.C. |
|
so who's getting dicked? |
|
Who reigns supreme? |
|
Who reigns supreme? |
