Tread Lightly

“My grandmother knew. She wasn’t stupid.”

My grandmother knew.

She wasn’t stupid.

I had girls in the house—

and some more shit.

Somebody told on you.

What you doing in Paterson?

In my head I’m like, oh shit.

I thought this was about

the girls in the house.

How you know?

Don’t worry.

Tread lightly.

(Kiss my teeth.)
