We

We is a little word
That doesn’t include everybody
At best just a couple of people
Often not more than a few
But it almost certainly never applies
To a gang or mob or group

We ain’t thick like that
We know too much ain’t good for us, so
We keep it simple
But more than that
We keep it real

We ain’t never too big
To see each other
To know each other
To look out for each other, cuz
We are tight

We don’t have time for
He say, she say, or hearsay
We talk
We don’t do proxies
We right here for each other

We don’t guess
We figure it out
We don’t do mess
We straighten it out
We don’t stress
We work it out
