Seatbelt Thug

Seatbelt Thug

A Poem by DC Gentleman

 

 
Shawty say she want a thug..
She craves that urban love..
Loves his loose fitting jeans
Worn low, but he clearly doesn’t know what it means
Shawty wants a hustler, hood superstar…
Money on his mind.. but she knows she makes him weak
She wants him from the street
Loves it when they don’t talk for weeks
She wants to be handled roughly when grooving in the sheets
Longing to be a “bust it baby” ..
He bought her a fake Gucci purse
Must be love..
She must be crazy.

Shawty say she want a thug..
See them on MySpace with scowls on their grill
But real thugs don’t know html
It turns her on hearing he spent some time in jail
He tattooed “Thug Life” on his chest ....
Hell.. 2pac made it fly
Stands on the corner reppin a block he’ll never buy
Wants to be a rapper, but won’t get close to Bentley dreams
On the corner with all his boys,
Everyone selling dope to the same 5 fiends
Allergic to education, immune to enlightenment,
Dropped out of school
Always keeping it real…
The real definition of a fool

Shawty say she want a thug..
The idea of living on the edge
Digs the rough exterior
Doesn’t know he only hits on her
Because he feels so inferior..
Says he loves her because he moved her up in mama’s house
She’s proud to be a wifey.. and never a spouse
Shawty say she want a thug..
Cuz Lil Wayne makes her melt
This man will never love her
Won’t ever truly love himself
Middle finger to the world..
A constant cry for help
But you know they not really trying to Ride or Die

Soon as they buckle that seat belt

I really liked this. As you wrote, I got a visual image of this girl- stupid as her man and with a grudge to bear against the whole damned world that done her wrong. Alas, I've known too many people like her. You captured the desperation very well- nice write!
