I used to hang out in town...

He sits slumped on his throne

WE REAL COOL

In his kingdom called town

WE LEFT SCHOOL

He lifts his fiery wand to his frown

WE LURK LATE

Inhales and sighs aloud

WE STRIKE STRAIGHT

Sitting there night and day

WE SING SIN

Addressing his subjects

WE THINK GIN

While they go on their way

WE JAZZ JUNE

To somewhere, someplace

WE DIE SOON

Away

Every other line is from We Real Cool by Gwendolyn Brooks

-1996
