I Love Boosters! |
I love them boosters |
They love them boosters |
You should love them too |
Even if they don’t know ya They’ll get it for ya Like a whole outfit or shoe |
A booster is a person who jacks from the retail |
And sells it in the hood for dirt-cheap resale |
In these hard times, and press on like Lee Nails |
In all of my experience, sex has been a female |
Back in elementary, my shoes used to rap |
Every time my soles would hit the street they would flap |
Then in high school Langston Anderson would cap |
'Cause my jacket didn’t have a brand name on the back |
Years later this lady took me to her apartment |
It looked like the Macy’s sportswear department |
Clothes on the chairs, on the couch, and the carpet |
A twenty had me icy like leasing in the arctic |
If it wasn’t for the hard work of a booster |
Most couldn't go to the clubs that we're used to If you won't get the dress cold they'll boot ya Like people who did dress up won't shoot ya For some of y'all folks, this stuff might |
phase ya This ain't the way the society raised ya But most of it was made by children in Asia |
The stores make money off of very low wages |
The next time you see two women running out the Gap |
With arms full of clothes still strapped to the rack |
Once they jump in the car, hit the gas and scat |
If you have to say something, just stand and clap |
This goes to all them hard working women |
Who risk jail-time just to make them a living |
We know there’d probably be no one in prison |
If rights to food, clothes, and shelter were given |
Plus they be giving me dress so fresh |
Even when my wallet yells, «S.O.S.» |
In a cheaper Sunday suit, you feel a little more blessed |
So until the revolution that I profess |
My shirt is from Stacey, my pants are from Rhonda |
My shoes came out the trunk of a baby blue Honda |
My wardrobe’s in luck if something falls off a truck |
If you’re looking for some leather, then go see Yolanda |
I’m on the red carpet and they ask who designed this |
I’m gonna give a shout-out to Bay Area’s finest |
All on our own, we survive this with slyness |
But when we come together, all our fashion is flyness |
