Snakes

snakes can come in all different shapes and sizes

rattlesnake, cobra

black mamba, copperhead

momma, papa

friend, acquaintance

snakes can come in all different shapes and sizes

a wise man once said that if you cut the grass low enough

they will show

that’s why i keep my shoes on

i don’t walk on no dirt barefooted

you’re gonna have to worry about more

than the lichens getting to you

snakes can come in all different shapes and sizes

and nationalities

anaconda, mambas

Black male, Brazilian female

boa, taipan

White male, Asian female

be on the lookout for those snakes

they won’t hold anything back

they’ll hiss and they’ll hiss

hi, hello, how are you today

those fangs can sink deep into the skin

lust, friendship, partnership

i can’t mess with those animals, they

have no compassion

they’ll have the audacity to eat

their own babies before they hatch

from their eggs and not give a damn about it

in the first place

i hope you’re woke enough to

know that b’cuz being woke and

being aware are two different things

learn how to differentiate

snakes can come in all different shapes and sizes

i’ve met a few of them throughout my lifetime

some of them have constricted me

some of them have bitten me

some of them damn near tried to kill me

snakes can come in all different shapes and sizes

met some in Newark

met some in New York

met some in Houston

once i’m in Brazil

i just might find more of them

snakes can come in all different shapes and sizes

snakes can come in all different shapes and sizes

snakes can come in all different shapes and sizes
