Rappoem

Me and my friend went to a
Party on a Saturday night.
Went to see what we could see.
When we go to the place,
This is what he said to me,
“You’re socially inadequate.
Wrong Words, bad moves…
That’s where you’re at.
And when it comes to sex, man
You can’t swing your bat.”

I thought”who the heck is he
To talk like that to me.”
I thought he was a good friend,
Not a back-stabbing enemy.
I have principles, not the kind
Who yell in school.
To me a good date is more
Than a great roll in the hay.
Women respect guys with rules.
I said he was the fool, and
I was gonna have my way.

The beat bounced off the wall,
And the music was too loud.
My friend danced his body
To the changing lights and sounds.
He danced with all the women,
 And sure worked up a sweat.
If he doesn’t get a lady tonight,
Then something’s wrong with him I bet.
But I didn’t dance that much.
I’m not good on the floor, and
After a few drinks, I hit the door.

I left my friend at the party,
And I started to walk home.
Then I found the red Line bus,
But I was not really alone.
There was a girl I see, but
I didn’t remember her name.
I knew she was there at the
Last party where I had been.
We sat together and talked,
And said he followed me out.
She said the music was too loud.

This is not the end because,
Really this is just a start
With an affair of the heart.
We spent a lot more time
Talking and dancing to bands,
And she would hold my hand
To prove to my friends that
Hey, in her eyes, I’m her man.
As we get closer and closer,
Our love merges into one.
I hope we can get married,
And then I can have a son.

I suppose you wonder what
Happened to that jerk of a friend.
He is lost in his madness, and
 life’s all in a bottle’s end.
I see him from time to time,
But we don’t communicate.
He’s on the street corner begging
And he is living his fate.
I think I should try to help,
But no matter what I do,
He just tells me I’m a fool.

Who is Elias Tobias? Go to his biography that is also in Spanish.
