Like it, think the end of verse one should be 'all fuckin illiterut' or 'all fuckin idiots'

Like the sentiment of that line, rings true.

Bling bling prose, I like angle with the parenthetical sober commentary.

This is wack. Good, yeah. And pretty true. But wack subject matter. Sorry to sound so prudish. I really am. The sorry college-educated PC part of me wants to say you should badmouth white people a little too to even it out. Or if it's supposed to be ironic ('please mr. man') then make it more obvious. The rest of me says screw it, it's the internet. Let your free flag fly. Like I said, it's pretty true.

Absolutely, I actually have been enjoying your work today. I was just giving you 6's because I thought you were my mom. Long story... don't ask.

I've seen plenty of white ghetto shitheads during my time on earth... isn't it anti-PC to believe that only black folk inhabit "da ghetto yo?"?.

The phrase "white trash" doesn't exist for nothing "ye hear me dawg?".
