Homeboy Sandman

Canned Goods

Back in QU
Momma worked for City Harvest
She knew that congress didn't care about who the Reagan era hit the hardest
She never bought me none of the fancy garments
It hurt her watching people eat from out the garbage
She wanted to her part to help em progress
She knew that even more than any possessions or expensive fancy objects
They needed something to digest
We'd already been cleaning out our closet
Headed straight to the Salvation Army station for deposit
My mommy
Had figured out that everyone passed the mailroom while they's walking through the lobby
So that was probably
The best location for some boxes set up to collect donations
She left a sign that said 'for help to feed the needy'
And everybody read it except for folks that failed at reading
And even though some punks had tagged it up with some graffiti
When I came to check it out the following evening it was filled with . . .

THE SPOILS GO TO THE VICTORS

After the earthquake in Haiti
People gave a damn for like almost a month maybe
Not saying they emotion was fugazi
But pretty much we out of touch mainly
But
My homey Alice saw the whole thing as a challenge
She spent her dough and time on trying to equalize the balance
Her point was doing nothing was the same as doing malice
I personally thought her point was pretty valid
She built a bill and found a venue
And vowed to make a dent where other heads would just pretend to
A member of a hip hop fellowship she made up her mind to have a hip hop benefit
The price to get in was a measly couple beans
But if you brought some food or clothes then you could roll for free
That night I asked her how much she had made
Barely nothing

Hurricane Irene, had everyone in NYC ODing
The year before there was an earthquake
Now cats preparing for the worst case
And everybody's talking about HAARP
Hypothesizing how apocalypse about to start
And how illuminati's reaching their goal
As far as global population control
By the time this song comes out
Will Occupy Wall Street's time run out?
I look around
It has been wack for the black and brown
But now it's even cats out in Five Towns won't pipe down
The world is turning upside down
So much for getting it popping in the hood
Now even spots where cats be trading stock they stocking up on . . .
