Stay In Yo' Books
by Randall McNair
Them balls you bouncin’
ain't gonna git you nothin’
but tarred an’ ign’ant.
An’ them boys you runnin’ wit’
them girls you hollerin’ aftah,
they’s all no good; they
ain’t got no hope a’ nothin.
No hope!
No sir, you stay in yo’ books.
Hear yo’ brothah’s callin,
read ‘bout yo’ pappy’s farm,
see them lines
yo’ great granddaddy wrote.
It’s all right theyah, right
in yo’ hands. Sho’ ‘nuff.
Yessir, ‘ats all I’s gotta say.
You stay in yo’ books!
