I Miss My Real Niggas

I ride through the streets

Looking for my real niggas

Where you at real niggas

Huey Bobby Eldridge

Alonzo Batin

Ali Sheriff Bey

I cannot find you in Acorn

Fillmore

Where are you

Why you not at home

Why do I drive the streets alone

You are not in the Tenderloin

On Jones Ellis McAllister

Turk 

Not in Bodecker Park

6th Street where I lived

Every alley doorway

Cardboard box house

Cracked out with Crack ho

Sucking on me and pipe

We recited Al Fatihah

Sucking and fucking

Where are you JB

We tried to save you

But TL was your lover

Hindu Hilton your love bed

Funky room incense

Crack smoke drowned the incense

Crack smoke made flies

Crawl on the floor

Cracked out like you

Miss you JB

Huey in the Acorn projects

Eldridge too

We smoked

Revolution gone

In smoke

Outsmarted ourselves

My daddy said

I ride looking

No revolutionaries I see

Streets dark empty

Men in hoodies command corners.

No KKK needed

KKK killed for hatred.

We kill for nothing

Where are you Huey

Lil Bobby Eldridge

Sam Napier

Kiilu

Dessy X

Have you been by her street

Rashida Muhammad off 20th/

Tom Berkley Way

Where are you Dessy X

I want to hold your hand

As you killed that white man who raped you in dirty south

Oakland know you as midwife

Rashida Muhammad

Don't know Killer Dessy X

Lover of Marvin X 

Where are you tonight

Streets of Oakland need you

Can't find your street

I drive on deep east

Streets bleak

Where are you Huey Bobby Eldridge

Kathleen Erika Tarika Elaine

The Lupen sit on corners

Want answers solutions programs

In our first meeting Huey said

Jackmon

What is your program?

Who has program for International Blvd?

Child ho's tricking with policemen

Homeless

Garbage tents every block

Wretched of the earth crowd liquor stores

Medication for the night

Kill pain trauma grief

Jesus saves

Jesus saves

Jesus and liquor stores

I ride I ride

No bothers at home

Sisters gone too

What shall I do?
