SPOKEN WORD: "Ghetto Soup" (2002)


"Ghetto Soup" (2002)

by Tik'al Storm Rydah


"Excuse me", goes ghetto girl.
"EXCUSE ME", yells ghetto girl.

"There's a virus in my soup, wait-a.
Take this shyt back & bring me another one."

"Come back with another solution
to my sexual revolution."

A-B-C
S-T-D
H-I-V

the alphabet soup of the new millennium
sexual illusions
prophylactic confusion
better wear dat hat 'fore da rain come down
blowing away your protection
victimised by erections

brothas and sistas
we must prepare for the fight
poison milk is coming down
much to that b*tch Medusa's delight

turn your bone to stone
make your mom & pop groan
the weight of all this pain
onset of
the poison rain

"HIV is a scary little thing
I'm so glad I've found the joy it brings."

said the sweet, young beautiful project baby
the one who never lived to be a lady

No more brainless "thugs"
stompin' around town in their "Lugz"
no real direction
yet, TONS of nasty infection

"hey, ma... what the deal ?!
my d*ck is brick
how YOU feel?
you wanna suck?
you wanna f**k?"

this was the now-hardened seed of Abraham
the one who really never gave a damn

"suck my d*ck, you nasty b**ch,
like you suck his d*ck, you filthy trick..."

"swallow 20,000 viruses
so that all the medicines in the world can't stop your hurt
infect you with my l-oooo-ve
so you can spend the rest of your life looking for comfort"

passing the virus
brotha to sista
sista to brotha
mother to daughter

"but, I don't wanna be careful
I gotta live for the now
n***** lo-ooooove a tight azz
it's all they know how"

but, self-loathing "n*****" all ways ready
ready to lick
ready to dick
stick out your tongue
all coated in thrush
brothaman's got the infection
and spreads it to the rest of us

street grime with a passion
nothing but dirty-azz batz
putting da love on da kitty kat
of that, "Damn, she FAT!!"
mentally-unstable chickenhead
with the cancelled WIC check

and now her time has come
to give birth like "Stran-JHAY"
the dawning of her misery
into the clear light of her day

a child
born to die
to reflect on life
without even a try

"Mooo-mmy why you cryin'?"
"Mooo-mmy why you dyin'?"

Is that nasty little cell killing your protection?
Is it time for your azz to get that next injection?

A-B-C
S-T-D
H-I-V

the alphabet soup of the new millennium
but, "n*****"  ain't learning
"n*****"  iz thug
they all up in your azz & ain't really trying to hug

"D" & "T"... and that shorty "E"
all wanna train you to be a
sl-aaaa-ve to their rhythms
get you high... get it in you

f**k her hard, stereotype thugn****
f**k her deep, stereotype sp*cn****

Forget about the times when the slaveowner
had you f**k your mother
to reproduce like cattle
3/5ths the man you once were
voluntary slavery
that's the REAL battle

"by the way, thugn****..."
"check it out, sp*cn****..."
"before, you get up an' go..."

"Whas ya name, baby?
cause I really truly wanna be ya hoe."
