My old lady ain’t never been one to cut me no slack
If I tell her I’m going to the store
She wanna know what time I’m coming back
But that’s okay ‘cause papa ain’t salty
You might think that what I’m saying ain’t real,
but the president has to sign a bill
Just so I can spend a bill – I’m talking about a dollar!
Yeah, sometimes it makes me wanna holler
but that’s okay ‘cause papa ain’t salty
You see…
I messed up just a while ago
with this sweet, fine thing – age around 24
Man, I thought my game was tight
‘cause I never tried to spend the night
But one day…
I guess the time was around 4
That sweet, fine thing knocked on my front door
Well, she told my ‘ol lady everything including things I said
Meanwhile, I’m ducking and dodging the pots and pans flying at my head
Man, was I scared!
But that’s okay ‘cause papa still ain’t salty
I just wish my ‘ol lady would cut me some slack
‘cause I just met this sweet, fine thing – age around 29
that I been dying to get at

Hey Ambyr,

Yes, I know many of my friends who are married and sneaking around. It's a terrible thing. A brother should just be single. However, in reality, temptation is always around the corner. So, I just pray that God will keep and protect me...from me. Amen.
Nope - after Easter - the 13-19th YAY!!!!
Ambyr-
Ok, good. I'll be sure to call.
I'm so glad you let people read an excerpt of one of your gems in Liquid Lunch. This is one of my favorites. I wish you brisk sales!
