Luyện nghe bài hát Not When You Get Down

[uncredited spoken word poet the song's intro]
A tall, handsome, chocolate colored kid
in a boxcut hairstyle.
Quiet manner was more in tune his, well-heeled patrons
than his hip-hopping friends.
"Who hooked you up momma?!"

I wrote a the other day
I hope you it

Roses are red, and violets are
Sugar is love, but not as sweet as you
are green, and doo-doo is brown
Life is but, not when you get down
I said roses are red, and violets are
is sweet love, but not as sweet as you
Boogers are green, and doo-doo is

is uphill but, not when you get down

Sticks and stones, flesh and
+Organic Electricity+
I'm home alone, but not by

Cause you're lookin at me like I'm two feet small
and wishes, wishes and dreams
It's and dirty, I wish it was clean
Win or lose, smoke or
And if you get from this one then, that'll be news
I

Ready or not, and hot
Tired and hungry but haven't

Guns and shots, runs and
Or alive under tons of rocks
A day, a wonderful night
A suitable pasttime just the mic

A day in the life, a in a day
You know when comin so you might get away

and time, nickels and dimes
Bass and rhyme that tickle spine
A brand new mind, a design
One of a kind, and you find

Homies and crews, weapons and
Lovers and and teachers and fools
Just try walkin one day in my socks and
And if you get away from this one then, be news
