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
