featuring Ursula Rucker

[Ursula Rucker]

Fuck.. kill.. and prosper

is the gospel of Wonderland, where

street sands, are quick..

to suck you down to the abyss

with the lure of pure bliss if you kiss the dicks

of the niggaz? Never.. Nosferatu's

Those witches and warlocks in blue

Government gumshoe, keepers of the First Zoo

Who? .. Me? ..

I'm the modern day vixen vampire slayer

Unauthorized player, in the capitalist contest

to see who "Gets Money"

No milk and honey, in this land

cause justice has been banned

So it's play dirty or die by the hand

that's holding all the guns

Plunged, deep into religion was my first decision

To save me and my daughter's lives, but

I can't thrive off spirit and scripture

The picture grew clearer; I made the move to rear her

in a life wanting for nothing

so I got into this drug thing

Not doing, but dealing

Sealing fates and, healing struggle gaped, wounds

of the doomed became my mission

Izm was just too small time

I had to find the best design to

fuck with the massive motherfuckers minds, and pockets

So I sold ? kits and, alleyway thigh splits for two bits

and, five year old preschool pussy

and, once strong now bony backs and stretched out

weary racks of snatch, in other words..

.. I sold crack

Morality was buried deep, beneath the new Jeep,

silk sheets and money heaps

Still the good mother, I sent my daughter off to

boarding school to keep shit under cover

All the while envisioning myself, a champion of ghetto causes

plus his, game I was playing, and winning

While sinning, against myself and soul to get the gold

I was the Female
