My cousin Rosie
Works two jobs
So she can support her baby-daddy
Who's going to school
To be a dentist.
(or so he says)
But my friend Tanisha
Saw him out dancing in her favorite club,
And he had two fine ladies with him
Holding expensive drinks.
He came up to Tanisha,
But she told him she was gay
And danced with her friend Maria.
Should I tell my cousin
Who works two jobs ?
