Don't Pop Off

Not all!
But some people are so treacherous,
And wicked.
The gritting of one's teeth,
Causes the gums to bleed from the grind.
Knowing one has become victimized,
By a lieing done that undermines.

And giving others that benefit of doubt,
While still being slanderized and talked about...
Can heat up the mind.
With thoughts of doing unnecessary jail time.

That's why,
It is better that we pray.
And don't pop off,
Or hit someone in the lip!

That's why,
It is better that we pray.
And don't pop off,
Or hit someone in the lip!

Not all!
But some people are so treacherous,
And wicked.
The gritting of one's teeth,
Causes the gums to bleed from the grind.
Knowing one has become victimized,
By a lieing done that undermines.

That's why,
It is better that we pray.
And don't pop off,
Or hit someone in the lip!

And giving others that benefit of doubt,
While still being slanderized and talked about...
Can heat up the mind.
With thoughts of doing unnecessary jail time.

That's why,
It is better that we pray.
And don't pop off,
Or hit someone in the lip!

That's why,
It is better that we pray.
And don't pop off,
Or hit someone in the lip!

That's why,
It is better that we pray.
And don't pop off,
Or hit someone in the lip!

That's why,
It is better that we pray.
And don't pop off,
Or hit someone in the lip!
