Peace to The Bronx NY

Cheebah Cheebah y'all

I need Sativas y’all

In the 1970s

NYC wasn't heavenly

The school system for the public

Was rubbish

Plus its published

So you can read thee

How and why

(Huh) its outside

The school and church

The youth search

For truth and worth

And DJ Kool Herc

Was the new birth

Since politicians were cruel jerks

The Big Apple has worms and snakes

They come in many forms and shapes

The serpent's tool

Was urban renewal

An astounding process

That moved Black and Brown

To housing projects

While vile

Land lords

Made the Bronx

Resemble Vietnam War

Can you believe these mad men ?

Even Reggie Jackson

Was treated stanky

And he's the best player on the Yankees

Baseball Team

Race of all things,

Is used for separation

And since welfare is not reparations

City streets are filled with desperation

This is the bridge

Which gives kids

A lift and that's big

In the heart if the Bronx

A new art form was launched

To abstain from gangs and other thangs

Teens need an outlet

Rappers Delight was out yet
