Opening verbal rap: I live in a little village outside of NYC; the town, I've heard, has from 6,000 to 20,000 people. I'm not a census taker so I don't know if these, numbers are close or way out there. Even if I lived in NYC, population 7,000,000, no way would I know them all. Hell I don't even know everybody from here! I grew up in a "railroad flat" apartment -- so called because the room layout is like a railroad car, and I suspect the house was built by the train company while the tracks were being laid to have a place for the workers to sleep. And this town is very typical suburban; picket fences and 2 car garages, except for "the rough side of town." This is written in honor of the place.
THE ROUGH SIDE OF TOWN IN HONOR OF MY LITTLE TOWN

I know people say where I live looks good
Okay I ain't from the ghetto or the hood!
Now we're bein invaded by yuppie slime
I remember 'the days' this was the rough side of town!
Wasn't any lottery but we knew where to make a bet
Ann Landers and Prozac weren't invented yet!
If you wanted advice or were nervous get a bottle drink it down
That was the best prescription on the rough side of town!
A kid doin wrong got his *** kicked
And yeah I mean kicked not kissed!
The town is mostly 'upper crust'
'The rough side' is for those without enough!
%26lt;Spoken: 'Enough' like two sticks to rub together!
(Tag :)
Most of my dates were girls from up on the hill
I didn't care if they were 'slumming' or looking for a thrill!
We had coloreds, Mic's, Wop's, Pollock's and a Jew
It was a good place to grow up and learn what to do!
%26lt;Spkn; And WHAT NOT to do%26gt;
They came to this country from all around
First stop was here; the rough side of town!!!...
