It looks like there’ll be pie in your face either way. Who will they roll and roast? Will it be you who’s silly enough to boast About the all of the inane things that you do Running around, you and your crew. These get rich quick schemes We complain about who gets in our way This is a capitalistic society There are a few things we need to do No. 1 Stop making excuses for not doing your best. Smile because your self-esteem remains intact And make sure that your willing, able and stable Enough to bring to fruition those things you should do. When you talk about the consequences that result From acting childishly rather than as an adult |
Or the pain we inflict On our children and loved ones When we fail to properly handle conflict And take it out on our daughters and sons. Or we can joke about how so and so got HIV And then we ignore the dangers anyway. And then there are those who’ll continue to tell lies Until they meet an untimely demise. These are the people you’ll come to despise. Listen instead to those who will say something profound In order to help you turn your life around. These are the people to look to and say “My people and myself, I will not betray.” Let the joke be that you push back and defy misery And that you won’t make a mockery of your noble history. Be irreverent if you must But also be fair and just And you’ll have the last laugh When you become chief of staff. Let the curse of disrespect go. No. 3 Don’t treat each other in a negative manner We have to be vigilant and proud So cheers to Paul Mooney Don’t let the joke be on you Peace. |
