• I seen her in the subway, on my way to Brooklyn.
  "Hello, good lookin, is this seat tooken?"
  
  On the A Train, pickin at her brain,
  I couldn't get her number, I couldn't get her name.
  
  I said, "I still like your style and fashion,
  But I hate your hot sadiddy attitude wit a passion.
  Is it because brothers like to hawk a lot?
  Is it because your sign don't talk a lot?"

  You don't really look good, I hope you have a bad day."

• The poor get worked, the rich get richer,
  The world gets worse, do you get the picture?
  The poor gets dead, the rich get depressed,
  The ugly get mad, the pretty get stressed.
  The ugly get violent, the pretty get gone,
  The old get stiff, the young get stepped on.

  So throw your fists up if you not satisfied.
