Here is a poem by Ms.Brenda Lee Parker
LETTER TO GET DOE BOYZ
Listen up Doe Boyz, I got somethin' to say
It can't wait 'til tomorrow, this may be yo last day
I'm not prophesyin' or signifyin', but the truth needs to be told
You keep doing what you doin' and you'll never grow old
Y'all use the excuse that life was not fair
"My mamma's a crackhead, and my daddy don't care"
Y'all blamin' the past, of growin' up faster
Now y'all slaves to the game and Satans yo master
Y'all need to slow down, and get GOD on your side
'Cause the devil is takin' y'all on a hellified ride
Y'all tellin' yo stories in rhymin' and rappin'
Tell the truth, shame the devil, this is really what's happenin'
Y'all chasin' that dough and slingin' that dope
Y'all livin' the lifestyle of dealin' no hope
Y'all about guns and hoes and killin' each other
Leavin' fatherless children and broken hearted mothers
Y'all got a house here and a house there
But y'all livin' in jails
Spendin' all the money you make
Tryin' to make bail
Y'all wanna grow up and be understood
But y'all lettin satan take yo manhood
Y'all goin' about the business of livin' his lie
He don't give a damn, he wants you to die
Y'all clique is tight, an army of thirty
Word on the street, y'all gets down and dirty
If you knew what I know though. you'd be tryin' to change
'Cause the devils on the prowl, lookin' for n***** to hang
Now I'm not judgin' and I'm not hatin'
Mam's got love, and I'm anticipatin'
See JESUS is comin' back and HE'S comin' real soon
GOD'S building us a mansion, and HE'S prepared y'all a room
So please, listen to me and hear what I'm sayin'
GOD gave me these words while I was on my knees prayin'
Stop playin' with life like it's some throw away toy
And be a man with a plan, not just a "Get Doe Boy"
