If you see something say something
Ok…maybe I will,But this message is not for
you.I see so many things I don’t know
where to begin.I see doctors that smoke
cigarettes,And nurses that are
overweight.I see white cops in my
neighborhoodThat come and set up
businessesAnd sell overpriced items and
take all the money they canAnd put nothing back into the
community.I see women, a lot of women,
wearing hair weavesWhile their real hair is
screaming: “Let me breathe!”I see young black males with
sagging pants and sagging minds.I see kids that are given too
muchAnd I see kids that are not given
enough.I see global warming.I see a woman sitting across from
me on the J train,Nodding, I think from
methadone.I see this guy on the train face
fighting with another guy.What a waste of energy.I see more people coming out of
the closet.I see people that are walking
time bombs…Like a big, juicy pimple ready to
pop!I see this woman with some
flygear on but with some fucked up headphones.When I get off the train I see a
big rat…I wish I could bring it home so my cats could play with
it.Anyway, I see yes, I see so much
it makes my head spin.What I see is mostly a
distraction for what I really should be seeing.The cold is in my eyes but at
least they’re open.For two decades I got high and
only saw fantasies.So when you tell me if “I see
something say something”Fuck you and the horse you rode
in on.I’m not saying shit, you didn’t
want to hear me before.You didn’t listen to Martin,
Malcom, Medgar, Gandhi, Bobby Seal or Kennedy.You say if you “see something say
something.”OK, why do I see Jimmy Carter
more now than when he was president?Damn, as a matter of fact, I see
Al Gore more now than when he was vice president.I guess you’ll let him talk now
because the global warming thing got you scared.Good, leave me alone. Like I
said, if I see something I’m sending it straight to you!
