I Be by Omelet 197th Street Homeboy

Picture by Jurien Huggins

To cut slack or not to cut slack,

That ain’t the question, so don’t be taken aback.

There be no slack.

None given, none taken,

Ain’t no bacon shakin,’

So don’t give me yo’ alas an’ alack.

No one but Yo’ Mama care ‘bout your zits festerin,’

So git off yo’ ass an’ quit askin’ the question.

Once you leave Yo’ Mama’s tit,

Ain’t gon’ be no one give a shit

‘Bout yo’ alas an’ alack.

There ain’t no slack on yo’ track,

So quit kickin’ back.

You kick back

You git kicked back.

Ain’t no lie ‘bout that,

So bye-bye to yo’ alas an’ alack.
