| I had a friend
|
| Well anyway that’s what I thought he was
|
| When it began
|
| Our friendship was strong as steroids
|
| I took him in
|
| 'Cause he had no place to go
|
| Fed him, treated him like a king
|
| Even bought him clothes
|
| We had been cool since grade school
|
| Then he played me for a fool
|
| The ungrateful punk
|
| Proved to me, kindness wasn’t worth a molecule
|
| He was the low down on the clown
|
| He used to hang around
|
| Eat up all the grub, never washed the tub
|
| Willie Dee got bugged
|
| One day I left work came home
|
| Early with a high fever
|
| Opened the door, guess what I saw?
|
| Him making love to a beaver
|
| It was kind of funny so I laughed
|
| But soon became uptight
|
| When I got a little closer and discovered
|
| That that beaver belonged to my wife
|
| I beat the boy to a coma
|
| Time for the nine to be released
|
| I shot the bitch several times
|
| Picked up the phone and called the police
|
| They sent me to jail, the next con in my cell
|
| Asked me why’d I go
|
| I just stared at him and said
|
| «Trip across from Mexico»
|
| (Go back, you dirty black)
|
| (Go back, you dirty black)
|
| Politicians
|
| They ain’t to be trusted
|
| They legalize drugs
|
| And then they get busted
|
| They don’t want to hear me speak 'cause my mind ain’t weak
|
| 'Cause I’m code red alerted
|
| But I won’t divert; |
| if the truth kills perverts
|
| Shit, I’ll dig the dirt
|
| I’m not a Democrat or Republican
|
| Yeah, just an American
|
| It don’t matter which party’s in the house
|
| They’ll still fuck up thangs
|
| Every hypocrite nominee
|
| Promises to lower taxes
|
| Ask them about it when they’re president
|
| And they start laughing
|
| They want to create jobs
|
| For underprivileged folk
|
| They create cells to lock 'em down
|
| When they survive by selling dope
|
| Trip across from Mexico
|
| (People open your eyes and see. Two hundred years later and the black man is
|
| still not free. |
| The failure to appoint blacks to high government positions is
|
| just another form of slavery. |
| I for one will never believe in equality until
|
| we’re no longer on the outside looking in.)
|
| They, I’m talking about the other race
|
| Kidnapped us from our place
|
| They didn’t want us to have what it took
|
| So those crooks hid the damn textbooks
|
| I wonder can I get y’all to drop the pipe
|
| And get high on life
|
| The dopeman could give a damn if you live or die
|
| It’s time to get right
|
| (Come on, tell 'em)
|
| Trip across from Mexico
|
| Three homeboys in Houston
|
| Once hit up a liquor store
|
| Two got away, one got shot
|
| In the back, went through the glass door
|
| He died at the scene at the hands of a clerk
|
| The was hurt
|
| The police got a good description
|
| Of a prime suspect
|
| They knew his name, they knew his game
|
| They knew from where he came
|
| They went straight to his house, arrested him
|
| Began to tamper with his brain
|
| They threatened to incarcerate him for years
|
| Unless he snitched
|
| He brought the story, broke his vow
|
| Surrendered his accomplice
|
| The punk who plead bargain was sent to the pen
|
| Due for ten
|
| The friend he turned in had people in the courts
|
| He now resides in Oregon
|
| The boy got the jacket, became a faggot
|
| 'Cause nobody likes a snitch
|
| They took his drawers, gave him panties
|
| Now he walks with a switch
|
| He went to the warden, crying about the deal
|
| Back in '83
|
| Six years locked down, booty pound
|
| Yet still no amnesty
|
| The Warden just smiled and said
|
| «Remember that brother you betrayed from the liquor store?
|
| «Well that was my nephew, ho»
|
| Trip across from Mexico
|
| (Go back, you dirty black)
|
| (Go back, you dirty black)
|
| Trip across from Mexico as defined by Willie Dee. |
| Any backstabbing move by any
|
| slimy low down motherfucker you thought was cool |
