Untitled

If you are a day late and a dollar short

An ass whoopin is necessary

Where are the reparations

You offer a penny for my thoughts

But a penny doesn't pay for candy anymore,

what makes you think it could buy a syllable

And if you're a day late and a dollar short

Imagine what will happen if you are 400 years and a billion dollars short

You see the pluralism filled with Razors between my teeth....The mind is a terrible thing to waste and

A waste is a terrible thing to mind
