Recalling a pair of adjudicated adolescents once assigned to counsel.

wuz a Ricky June

'n' I

got busted

crosst 'em

while I wuz in tha game

they'd run a number on me

thinkin' nobody wuzn't lookin'

only I don't mind so much

since I can see

how they don't know no better

well what am I gonna do I mean

they wuz only kids

course

they couldn't just get over

got their consequence a'right

but after that

I figures

there's lots they need ta learn

'n' I starts to turn 'em on

ta what I know

who's bad who's show

who's takin'

who ain't 'n' such

we wuz together that way

for a while 'til I got called on

'n' had to book

anyways

one day I sees 'em on tha street

after which we parties on 'n' off

they was a funny pair

next thing happens

June 'rupts in on me

sayin' Ricky's fallin' down

'n' she wants me

ta keep tha peek

he's been fuckin' hisself over like that

all his life

so now here I am

yellin' in ta Ricky

cuz I can see it comin'

like this tidal wave

a screws 'n' hardcores

but he don't hear me so good

tucked away inna pocket

'n' I looks at June

waddlin' 'round

all pregnant like

what am I gonna do

I mean

wuz a Ricky June

'n' I

got busted
