A Tale of Too Cities...

A Tale of Too Cities...

Monuments of granite, marble, and gold
But where I’m from no place tourist
Some place you might not believe exists
Housing Projects made from brick
Mostly Concrete and no grass...just trash, piss
A Corner store to stand and hustle like thugs did.
On the far northeast side of the diamond
National Capitol Housing was the Subdivision’s name
Number 13 Sixth... Left or right off East Capitol street or Blaine...
Taxation without representation is our claim
Sixty blocks from 1600 Pennsylvania ave
A ways from all the good, glamour and fame
Dr. Watson might say... Still no clue, Mr Sherlock?
See if you can taste dissin'...
Chocolate City as it is affectionately known
To the folks that where grown,
Born and bread...Government cheese
Was what we were fed.
Can you smell what I jest' said?
No one knows!
However uncannie this may be.
My city was proclaimed
Murder Capital throughout the 80’s...Shid
The Mayor got convicted for Smokin’ Crack baby.
"The bitch set me up" was the scene
A dicked to sex was the plea.
We blamed it all on the crews, hoods and teams
Home of the Redskins, the Bullets...now the Wizards,
The Nationals were the Senetors, The Capitals
the Badazz Redbones, and the GO-GO...
Any of this seem harmonyous or even a little synonomous?
Washington DC...Is my hometown and the tail of my epiditimous too!
