She
See, she wondered in mid-summer
See, she wondered in mid-summer
How to celebrate his birthday
She never knew what little boys could do
Until she had one
Tons of fun, hours of play
She loved when her little man smiled at her
His certain way
Well today's his day
Let's
Let's celebrate
Let's celebrate little man's birthday
And even though Daddy ain't around
Because he was gunned down
By NY pig pound on the same date
Let's celebrate little man's birthday
And may he live longer
Stronger
Faster
Faster
Old enough to maybe retaliate with his toast
And boast to the neighborhood folk
Of how he terrorizes blue coats
Because see, she wondered in mid-summer
How to celebrate his birthday
See, she wondered in mid-summer
How to celebrate his birthday
She never knew what little boys could do
Until she had one
Teenage years amongst his peers
Brought black boy pressure
None the lesser
Sessions of aggression
Rehearsed on Nostrand Ave
BK abrasive, sly and persuasive
When he swaggered or staggered
In the morning twilight
See, she wondered
See, she wondered in mid-summer
How to celebrate his birthday
See, she wondered in mid-summer
How to celebrate his birthday
See, she wondered
What would become of her son
Full of discomfort
His situation turned mother against child
Illicit occupation
Equivalent to incarceration
Lifestyle led black boy wild
Now he's seven years later
Into manhood
See, she wondered in mid-summer
How to celebrate his birthday
He's the black ethereal
Grand imperial being
From the unseen light
He walks with a bop
Swaggers to the right
Up the ave
She she she wondered
She she she wondered
She she she wondered
She she she wondered
She she she wondered
She she she wondered
See, she wondered in mid-summer
How to celebrate his birthday
See, she wondered in mid-summer
How to celebrate his birthday
She never knew what little boys could do
Until she had one
26 without a witness
He was wandering the city streets
She never knew what little boys could do
And how they often wanted to compete
He settled his story
Of American glory
By doing fast things in the wild life
See, she wondered in mid-summer
What would happen to him in the night
And see, she wondered in mid-summer
What to do
How to celebrate
How to live
How to be free
She she she wondered
She she she wondered
She she she wondered
She she she wondered
She she she wondered
She she she wondered
See, she wondered in mid-summer
How to celebrate his birthday
See, she wondered in mid-summer
How to celebrate his birthday
She never knew what little boys could do
Until she had one
Tons of fun, hours of play
She loved when her little man smiled at her
His certain way
Well today's his day
Let's
Let's celebrate
Let's celebrate little man's birthday
And even though Daddy ain't around

By NY pig pound on the same date
Let's celebrate little man's birthday
And may he live longer
