Last night the police came for me and bashed in my door. One of them even crawled through the window- it was nuts. They arrested my ass and threw me in the back of their squad car. That's how I ended up back at the station. Actually, funny thing, when I got there I realized it was the East Detention Center. And that's where I got violated. Informer, My name is Snow and I think very highly of myself. Someone ratted on me for something I may or may not have done. I'll lick your butt and like it. That's what they taught me to say in prison. The arresting officer said I stabbed someone on my block. I'll lick your butt and like it. Police think they're so fucking cool cause they have guns. In Canada you get a full hour to call people to bail you out. I decided to call my bitch, Tammy. Fucking Tammy... Fucking Tammy... Fucking Tammy... Whenever there is a pause in my performance all people ask is "Where are you from? Are you from Jamaica or something?" I tell them "No, I was just born in the ghetto. Yes, the ghetto... In Canada..." Black people are my people. They accept me as their own. Like lions, dog. Lions. I quote an Eek-a-Mouse Lyric to give me cred. Oh by the way, I'm from Toronto

I can't oppress to impress, guess I've got to earn my own, my odds of getting into a school are slightly less (than what they were), I guess I ought to just stay home, the right's losing the right to not give others rights, guess the world's turned out all wrong, the left left my behind for people of other kinds, guess there's nowhere left for me to belong (except everywhere), Oh I guess I've got the white people blues, I've go the white people blues, Oh yes I've got the white people blues, I've got the white people blues, my kind's had it good for centuries why should we ever consider some change?, I point out people differences constantly (but quietly) but assume our opportunities are the same, I'm just a immigrant tryin' to be fittin' it with other cultures so disparate, so I dismiss others to make it feel more like home, even though we mostly lose our differences in time and I'm, just afraid of other cultures without a definitive one of my own, Oh I guess I've got the white people blues, I've got the white people blues, oh yes I've got the white people blues, I've got the white people blues.
