|
| trouble maker, in her teens, all us love or hate her
|
| seeks attention, makes a scene wherever her mother takes her
|
| curses her out, her attitude is worse than her mouth
|
| used to work in the south, till her aunt there kicked her out
|
| raising hell, acts invicible, yelled back and spit at you,
|
| held back in middle school, expelled, slapped the principal
|
| wild n' out, nothing to be wild about, when her mom keeps her up-to-date with
|
| every style thats out
|
| long island house, got her own room, behaved and saved for a crib and a car —
|
| she’ll have her own soon
|
| but she’s very unappreciative, gives all the credit to her dad but the secret
|
| is her mom made 'em keep the kid
|
| doesnt go to school, just another joint case, tresspassed through the high
|
| school, and screamed to his face, cant go home — police waiting,
|
| she runs away from her problems but they keep chasing…

| pops up on her Pop’s porch — my little girl came to see me! |
| man its been awhile
|
| -thats what her pops thought
|
| she got free at her pops crib, thought her mom was being cruel, thought her
|
| father had no set of rules
|
| but he got his — chores, mop the floors, then scrub the walls, after 8 — no
|
| noise, no calls, no boys, mow the lawn, wash the car and dishes,
|
| clean the kitchen, be sure to excercise your curfew’s at 9
|
| was gonna show her how to drive, she couldnt wait for her father to arrive
|
| the mischeif only keeps her occupied. |
| takes the keys while he went golfing,
|
| she drove but not often, the store wasnt that far — she coulda just walked it
|
| foot slips off the gas, but to avoid the crash, hits a woman coming outta the
|
| mall carrying bags
|
| hit and ran, thought she was driving safe, a customer inside the gate of the
|
| parking lot got the license plate
|
| she parks it back in the garage, paint scratched, tried to match it with on the
|
| car with nail polish so the accident was solved
|
| cops drove up asked um, sir do you own a maxima?
|
| she was gone before they thought of asking her…

| calls her aunt upstate with the estate houses by the lake
|
| she said i dont want that drama down here
|
| calls her ex-boyfriend that moved to portland oregon to get away
|
| he said i dont want that drama down here
|
| calls her cousin in Miami but her family called there before she did
|
| they said we dont want that drama down here
|
| last call to her uncle but he’s unaware
|
| he said why dont you call your mom and dad? |
| shes like yeah. |
| great idea
|
| whole city looking for her, things escalated, since the slashing and the hit
|
| and run in brooklyn where they saw her
|
| changed her hairstyle — now in staten island because she knows her grandma
|
| would never give up her grandchild
|
| blind in one eye, she could barely see who it was, family always say they visit,
|
| but nobody does
|
| through the screen door recgonized, the voice and was surprised,
|
| loneliness was in her eyes as she brushes her aside
|
| does your mom know your here? |
| but really didnt care — she was so delighted
|
| catching up with things and trying to feed her… grandma ran out of sugar
|
| ill go to the store for you — she gets the purse but not without going through
|
| it first
|
| she opens the door, cops hiding in the bushes and trees, got their rifle wedged
|
| in her temple yelling Freeze!
|
| …so where you gonna run now? |
