“I used to hate hip-hop... yup, because the women degraded, But Too $hort made me laugh, like a hypocrite I played it. A hypocrite I stated, though I only recited half, Omittin the word itch, cursin I wouldn't say it. Me and dog couldn't relate, til a bitch I dated, forgive my favorite word for hers and hers alike. But I learnt it from a song I heard and sorta liked.”
