Like that wierd Gieco commercial ( an automotive insurance company for you
foreigners ;-0).
I think the whole purpose of this group is to have fun. People want to
have fun. If it serves them to discuss something not wholely dedicated to
computing, then let them. We do. We do.
We enjoy computers. That is fun. We enjoy talking with each other. That
is fun. It is all about fun so ... have some!
On topic for this message and in response, I have some rap lyrics for you
by Sir Mix Alot.
I'm living like hell in a world of death
Protectors of the people wear bullet-proof vests
You little nit, you flipped him an Uzi
took to the street, shot em' up then WHO ME?
Locked in a trap by Republican villains
pinstripe suits, experts at killin'
Civil war, but some want out
locked in a trap called the ghetto we shout
Heading for the strip cause' the squares ain't hip
sell a couple g's, make the homeboys trip
The President is a dope-man's friend
the government's strong but the dope got in.
Punish the accused but the trial was short
A black mans' dogged in an all-white court.
Jury's dismissed, the prosecutor says "can em'"
Now I'm ashamed of my national anthem
The Pentagon had a plan for rescue
they said intelligence never makes misques
The thirty-first was a day of death
Lt. Col. Higgins....You know the rest.
Not negotiations with a terrorist force
but Iran's still buzzin off of Oliver North
The Iatollah's dead but the hearts' not gone
The burning of the flag Iran goes' on.
Anti-Americans - we're loved by few
we pay big money to the ones that do
The Christian Militia - they give us big knowledge
but the Pentagon messed up and wouldn't acknowlege
Ollie took orders from the number one man
but the crap hit the fan and superiors ran
Democrats trip. The committee said 'Can em''
Now I'm ashamed of my national anthem.
Am I a communist? No. But my brain ain't slow
not long ago Mix-a-Lot was po'
Never helped out by the one's with clout
I was mad at the world cause' I felt left out
Stealin' hub caps, stereos, anything to get paid
I realized I'm a modern-day slave
Posse downtown, the sight was sad
saw my homeboy's mother with a buggy and a bag
people walked by, laughing at poverty
I looked in her face and I soon saw me
College educated, but she can't get a job
The American dream once again got robbed
Vietnam vets on the street? That's a shame.
Fight for the man and the man plays games.
Dogged by the hippies. Dope smoking critics.
You blame it on the soldier but your government did it.
Bolivia, Columbia, the CIA, - any similarities - I won't say
But the dope gets in uncut like pfunk
headin' over boarders in a scent-free trunk
Coffee over dope but the dog cain't sniff it
remember that lady that was broke? She's with it.
Started with a key, clocked 17g's
got another shipment
pure D
Headin' for Portland, the money was better
Rollin' in a Porche and a Cashmere sweater
Crime, revenge, I'm telling you this
the people that laughed are the people that noticed
her community complained, callin' the police
but where was her community when she was in the streets?
The dope's commin' in. It's killin' em' at random.
Now I'm ashamed of my National Anthem.
>From Jeff, Sup to you to figure out how this ties in, but I'll give you a
hint. Nationalism never got us anywhere. Ask Adolf if you can find him.
