Harlem
The big boys ringed me out-
One bad year is all it book
The red ink was on the book
And I sold out.
My family's now on Amsterdam,
I'm pushing carts on Seventh
My kids get mugged on way to school-
But my oldest thinks it's pretty cool
He don't really give a damn
He thinks I'm just a tool
Besides he's got a Man on Eighth
And the flesh has left his face
