Youngblood in the river, identified by his teeth Both eyes gla**ed over, missing hands and feet Moving oh so fast, current pushing from beneath Youngblood in the river, always smelled so sweet Put Jimmy in the river, put it out on the street Showerhead in the bathtub, baby And a crack in the concrete Well police call mama, stop crying for a word Broken neck and a bl**job, baby
Something mama never heard Say he dressed like a woman on weekend nights Try to sell it to a rich man, baby in the fifth ward light Called out to a witness, but they couldn't make it stick Too long in the river, to hear the turning of a trick Sometimes the truth is in the trouble, when it's dead in your hand Youngblood in the river, sometimes a woman is a man
