****WARNING!! : Strong language****


Sitting at the park, having a cigarette and smoking a cone.
Today was a strange day. I should have stayed home.
We saw the boys ranting and raving coming up the street,
Me and my bitch Nola hid our smokes and rose to our feet.
“Sumthang’s gowen down and you girls should fuck off, trouble is near.”
We piped up and said” We aint gowen no where. We’re fuken staying here”
One by one the group flocked to the park.
It was starting to get late. It was staring to get dark.
By 7 o’clock the park was full, yet they boyz still arrived.
Armed wiv baseball bats and big ass knives.
The people flocked from all over, the TPK had grown.
This was their park. Their place. Their fucken home.
Then came the OT, otherwise known as the OUTTA BOYZ.
They raped one of our bitches, the TPK would make some noise.
The lights shone and the music blaired.
We were told to hide. As if they fucken cared!
The music grew loud the boyz stood in a stance.
They weren’t about to samba, this was a different dance.
The words flew “You diss my bitch. I’ll fuck you up.”
“Damn dude take it easy, your bitch is a slut”
The Outta Boyz got bigger, the TPK stood their ground.
One lunged, then another.
People came from everywhere, they screamed “RUN FOR COVER”.
Shots fired in the air. “This is our place FUCK OFF YOU BETTER RUN”
I hid in a bush, I almost pissed myself…Tido had a gun.
The Outta Boyz ran off, I think we won the fight.
Tido was a hero. I was stunned by fright.
I sat down, lit a cigarette and finished my cone.
I wish I hadn’t seen that shit. I should have stayed home.
