The humidity has the air a 100% wet Firecracker or a gunshot how much you wanna bet? Mosquitoes congregate by all sources of light The heat has people irritable and ready to fight Air conditioners constantly over worked and never paid Sweat saturates doo rags designed to protect waves The air smells like a blend of barbeque and overheated car engines Preacher man hands out pocket size Bibles 'cause we're all sinning People here call tank top tees wife beaters And summer dresses man keepers Kids play b-ball on a crate or a game of Cans Eat raw koolaid, the rainbow is stained on their hands Little girls double-dutch with old telephone cords A neighbors plea to stay off their grass gets ignored Women wear tight outfits to increase their level of attraction Men break up with their girl to get a piece of that action Old couples sit on the porch Symbols that real love is not a fable Sneakers mysteriously find themselves hanging from power cables Police cruise through to see who they can fuck with Dirt doers pause for a second, then continue like "fuck it" I know one day we'll all do the right thing
