|
| but fuck skin color — I was proud to call myself a tough jew
|
| I guess i’m mad lucky to be raised in NY
|
| the world’s capitol — my attitude was take em to war
|

|
| in Texas they dream about hunting jews with Borat
|

| had newsmen talking as a kid about Yusef Hawkins
|
| same age as me when Joey Fama caught him walking through Bensonhurst
|
| a world away from my Glenwood Projects
|
| racially mixed — combustible — it lead to conflicts
|
| I was never raised prejudice
|
| my grandmother was a holocaust survivor
|
| and my uncle did heroin
|
| my pops wasn’t around
|
| my moms kicked him out the house
|
| and broke her back to put food in our mouths
|
| age 12 — they bussed my projects to the white school
|
| holes in my sneakers — I never fit in with them rich white dudes

|
| now VH1 got a show for wiggers
|
| and some claim the jews be the biggest wiggers — we’re considered
|
| the most dangerous cause they think we shift our forms
|
