Don’t know why but
I’m thinking ’bout Eazy
Don’t know why but
I’m missing Eazy-E
Used to wanna be
little rappin’ Eric Wright
Used to wanna be
the only white guy in N.W.A.
Didn’t think it would matter
‘case we were all in the same gang
Didn’t think it would matter
before Vanilla Ice and Y.B.T.
Driving to the office
singing ‘Nobody Move’
Driving to the office
wonderin’ ’bout your real age
Thinking ’bout the drama
behind Ruthless Records
Thinking ’bout the drama
Suge threatenin’ ya mama
Don’t have to turn you down now
when my parents come in the room
Don’t have to turn you down now
‘cept when my kids are in the car
So many years later
I know I’ll never be a rapper
So many years later
still recitin’ your album from memory
Don’t know why
but I’m thinking ’bout Eazy
Don’t know why
but I’m missing Eazy-E
Thanks for this poem. Excellent.
