Doin things that probably get you in trouble.

Busta Rhymes the mighty infamous,
Always misbehaving and mischeivous,
Causing aggravation, I’ll never pause,
Pushing out spit balls through plastic straws.

Miss can I get a second to speak and quietly mention,
That I am so into who you are, can I get your attention?

Funny how the love be fake…but I ain’t stressin’.
Thankful for the love that’s genuine…appreciate the blessin’.

We got to stay awake for all these lizards and snakes,
Some of them come as friends; some of them come as Jakes.
