A menace yet still I played tennis, ain't that with the Reeboks, they called them, Cut Buddies' I with one, only one younger brother Doo-Wop could cut and scratch up any other
Bigger than his size, was barely feet In 83 broke beats that today streets With no one to grade it, still debated Some saw and hated but never contemplated
