  • I will lick your funky emotions"
  • This is the stylin' for a little that sounds silly
  • But nothin' silly about triflin' times of Millie
  • Millie, a Brooklyn Queen-originally from Philly
  • Complete with that accent that made her sound hilly-billy
  • Around this time, the slammin' joint was Milk is Chilin'
  • But even cooler was my social worker Dillon
  • Yeah, I had a social worker 'cuz I had some troubles
  • Anyone who'd riff on me, I'd pop their dome like bubbles
  • He'd bring me to his crib to watch my favorite races
  • That's how his daughter Millie become one of my favorite faces
  • She had the curves that made you wanna take chances
  • I mean on her, man, I'd love to make advances
  • I guess her father must 'a got the same feelin'
  • I mean, actually findin' his own daughter Millie appealing
  • At the time no one knew but it was a shame
  • That Millie became a victim of the touchy-touchy game
  • Yo Millie, what's the problem, lately you've been buggin'
  • On your dukie earrings, someone must be tuggin'
  • You were a dancer who could always be found clubbin'
  • Now you're world renowned with the frown you're luggin'
  • Come to think your face look stink when Dill's around you
  • He's your father-what done happen-did he ground you?
  • You shouldn't flip on him 'cuz Dill is really cool
  • Matter of fact, the coolest elder in the school
  • He hooked up a trip to bring us all the Lacey
  • He volunteered to play old Santa Claus at Macy's
  • Child, ya got the best of pops anyone could have
  • Dillon's cool, super hip, you should be glad
  • Yeah, it seemed that Santa's ways were parallel with Dillon
  • But when Millie and him got him, he was more of a villain
  • While she slept in he crept inside her bedroom
  • And he would toss and then would force her to give him head room
  • Millie tried real hard to let this hell not happen
  • But when she'd fuss, he would just commence to slappin'
  • (Yo Dillon man, Millie's been out of school for a week, man, what's the
  • deal?)
  • I guess he was givin' Millie's bruises time to heal
  • Of course he told us she was sick and we believed him
  • And at the department store as Santa we would see 'em
  • And as he smiled, his own child was at home plottin'
  • How off the face of this earth she was gonna knock him
  • When I got home, I found she had tried to call me
  • My machine had kicked to her hey how ya doin' (sorry)
  • I tried to call the honey but her line was busy
  • I guess I'll head to Macy's and bug out on Dillon
  • I received a call from Misses Sick herself
  • I asked her how was she recoverin' her health
  • She said that what she had to ask would make it seem minute
  • She wanted to talk serious, I said, "go ahead-shoot"
  • She claimed I hit the combo dead upon the missal
  • Wanted to know if I could get a loaded pistol
  • That ain't a problem but why would Millie need one
  • She said she wanted her pops Dillon to heed one
  • Ran some style about him pushin' on her privates
  • Look honey, I don't care if you kick five fits
  • There's no way that you can prove to me that Dill's flip
  • He might breathe a blunt but ya jeans he wouldn't rip
  • You're just mad he's your overseer at school
  • No need to play him out like he's someone cruel
  • She kicked that she would go get it from somewhere else
  • Yeah, whatever you say, go for ya self
  • Macy's department store, the scene for Santa's kisses
  • And all the little brats demandin' all of their wishes
  • Time passes by as I wait for my younger brother
  • He as his wish, I waste no time to return him back to Mother
  • As I'm jettin', Millie floats in like a zombie
  • I ask her what's her problem, all she says is "Where is he?"
  • I give a point, she pulls a pistol, people screamin'
  • She shouts to Dill he's off to hell cuz he's a demon
  • None of the kids could understand what was the cause
  • All they could see was a girl holdin' a pistol on Claus
  • Dillon pleaded mercy, said he didn't mean to
  • Do all the things that her mind could do nothing but cling to
  • Millie bucked him and with the quickness it was over
 
  • [RONALD CHEVALIER:]Aha! What a beautiful day in the concrete jungle.

  • Damn, I feel good today. I'm looking forward to going and just beating
  • the
  • shit out of someone and taking their money. What a fucking great job I
  • have!
  • I wonder why I feel so good. Could it be the music?
  • Could it be my breakfast? Or could it just be the fact that
  • I just hate everybody, dammit!
  • Life is grand, life is great, I'll get myself a real cheap date.
  • Some woman I can take to McDonalds, spend a dollar twenty-five on,
  • and have like, the best time of your life with afterwards.
