Once You Go Hood.....

My name is Keri,

I'm so very,

Fly, Oh my,

It's a lil' bit scary.

Boys wanna marry,

Lookin at my derri-,

ere,

You can stare but if you touch it,

Imma burry.

Pretty as a pictcha,

Sweetah than a swisha,

Mad cuz I'm cuter,

Than the girl that's witcha.

I can talk about it,

Cuz I know that I'm pretty,

And if you know it too,

Then ladies sing it wit me.....

I sung my favorite song of the moment at the top of my lungs.

All eyes on me when I walk in,

No questions asked, this girl's a ten.

Don't hate me cuz I'm beautiful,

Don' hate me cuz I'm beautiful.

Me and my best friends, De'Asia and Mia were goin over the dance steps for the talent show at our school in three weeks. Last year, we danced and I sung, to Single Ladies.

My walk, my talk, the way I dress,

It's not my fault so please don't trip,

Don't hate me cuz I'm beautiful,

Don't hate me cuz I'm beautiful.

I knew the steps by heart. I should, seein as I made majority of them up. We danced, facin the giant mirror in De'Asia's room, so we could see how we would look on stage.

Ay! Now do the pretty girl rock(rock), rock(rock), rock,

Do the pretty girl rock(rock), rock(rock), rock,

Do the pretty girl rock(rock), rock,

We jerked our hips to the side with the beat with each rock.

All my ladies do the pretty girl rock, (rock, rock, rock)

Do the pretty girl rock, (rock, rock, rock)

Do the pretty girl rock, (rock, rock, rock)

Do the pretty girl rock.

The music stopped and our heads jerked toward De'Asia's laptop from which, the instrumentals for the song played, on her bed. Her brother, De'Andre, or Dre for short, sat on her bed with the PC on his lap.

"Dre, first of all, why the fuck are you in my room and second, what the fuck are you doin?" said De'Asia, pissed.

"Right. We was almost perfect that time and then yo dumb-ass had to cut off the music." said Mia in her slight Barbadian accent. She moved to Ohio right after her first birthday. Mia and Dre have never liked each other. Since we were in pull-ups. Our parents said that they used to cry when they had to sit next to each other when we were babies and when we were younger, they hated havin to share parties, seein as how they have the same birthday. That means that Mia and De'Asia share the same birthday as well because Dre and De'Asia are twins. Dre and Asia might be twins but they fight like cats and dogs. I mean like over the simplest stuff. Sometimes for no reason at all, just cuz they're bored. But they are also really close and their arguments never last but for like five minutes. Although one time, we took a road trip down to Miami for spring-break and they fought the whole way there and the whole way back. That's when me and Mia vowed never to be in the car with them for more than 30 minutes ever again.
