Summer rooftops filled with Crazy Eights<\/p>\n
Pick 2<\/p>\n
Pick 4<\/p>\n
Pick 4 more<\/p>\n
Pick-up 32 because Shorty got swoll<\/p>\n
Smacking back sunflower seeds<\/p>\n
Spitting David up and out to the pavement<\/p>\n
While Wu-Tang resonates in the background so effortlessly<\/p>\n
Arizona Iced Teas<\/p>\n
Laffy Taffys<\/p>\n
Nerds Candy<\/p>\n
Want to go some play some pool, now or later?<\/p>\n
Mastering the arts of being quick witted by hiking on each other<\/p>\n
Sparking up another game of pick-up 32 because Shorty be bugging<\/p>\n
Obtaining the skills of crafty fast thinking by playing chess, always staying ahead of the game<\/p>\n
Fuck checkers, that’s for punk asses<\/p>\n
Yo Cuz, take that deck away from Shorty<\/p>\n
Heading downstairs to the joint<\/p>\n
Sweeping the floors<\/p>\n
power on the jukebox, Redman comes on…”Time 4 Sumaksion”<\/p>\n
Sneaking cigarettes and piss water downed beer<\/p>\n
While we hustle some old ass perverts on the pool table<\/p>\n
Jersey kids doing what they do best<\/p>\n
Trying to pass the time without getting caught up<\/p>\n
Because trouble round the block<\/p>\n
And Shorty ain’t here no more<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
