[Ursula rucker] Fuck. kill. and prosper Is the gospel of wonderland, where Street sands, are quick. To suck you down to the abyss With the lure of pure bliss if you kiss the dicks Of the niggaz? never. nosferatu's Those witches and warlocks in blue Government gumshoe, keepers of the first zoo Who? . me? . I'm the modern day vixen vampire slayer Unauthorized player, in the capitalist contest To see who gets money No milk and honey, in this land Cause justice has been banned So it's play dirty or die by the hand That's holding all the guns Plunged, deep into religion was my first decision To save me and my daughter's lives, but I can't thrive off spirit and scripture The picture grew clearer; I made the move to rear her In a life wanting for nothing So I got into this drug thing Not doing, but dealing Sealing fates and, healing struggle gaped, wounds Of the doomed became my mission Izm was just too small time I had to find the best design to Fuck with the massive motherfuckers minds, and pockets So I sold? kits and, alleyway thigh splits for two bits And, five year old preschool pussy And, once strong now bony backs and stretched out Weary racks of snatch, in other words. . I sold crack Morality was buried deep, beneath the new jeep, Silk sheets and money heaps Still the good mother, I sent my daughter off to Boarding school to keep shit under cover All the while envisioning myself, a champion of ghetto causes Plus his, game I was playing, and winning While sinning, against myself and soul to get the gold I was the female don, the crack queen To me I seemed unstoppable, my coffers full I went buckwild, wanting more Like the pipe worn whores I began to deplore No time for playing with my coochie Counting my man's mad lucci While he was up inside some hoochie's loose piece I signed the checks and, I counted out the cash Wasn't saving ass for no niggaz sent upriver I thought my shit was tight. . Til my empire started to quiver Taking every chance, under surveillance, being listened to And watched, like assata shakur My place on the top was no more sure Loose lips flipped the script The fantasy trip, swiftly ended It took no time to blend in, with the population prison My jaded vision, busted like a cherry Every, dream I had, now tainted bad I fucked and, I killed, to prosper Upheld each tenant, of the ghastly gospel Shift to a different wonderland to pay the price for my vice A land of fields to toil in like slaves No lillies in this field just plenty of souls to save Plenty of fat uniformed rats with Below average size cocks that slither Through cell locks, in the night Lactating tits being licked, left and right Plenty of coochie, burning with desire Like black churches in the south Black prayers and pussy on fire Penned up behind barbed wire Me and my fellow female mammals, animals Bitches in cages, bodies racked with hormone rages Minds haunted by our children's faces They mace us, with promises of rehabilitation slash corruption Place smoking guns in empty hands of, native sisters and sons I joined in this nation's favorite pasttime On a quest to gets mine Now I'm passing time standing on line In the commissary to buy maxi-pads Instead of shopping at barney's for chanel bags Nana who raised me, went to bed a-dazed Via my mistakes, and my daughter hates Me for what I did And I'm fucked. and I'm stuck Doing the devil's bid Being locked in a moral corrupt crib Psst. missing my kid. psst. hey girl, You wanna get finger fucked tonight? I swear I'll stick it in and up tight just right Yo sis. I've had to kill and shit Just blow my head pretty and I'll give you a slip Alright ladies, lights out!
