Metro Voodoo

Just use a pinch uh powdered 
concern an' a splash uf liquid worry, 
puff of stale subway wind will
Deafen all passengers ears 
To chilren' with cornrows and dem cavity-filled muths  
who's a hollerin' dem banshee shrieks

A shake of-- whatchu call dem? tablet's technology? 
Yup dat right 'der will smooth mammy's chocolate brow 
clear it of all dat shame & conscious of self she harvest in her heart 

Now chilren' 2/3 uf a dash uf empathy 
works wonderins for inspirin smiles
but honey be wary, if ya put even 3/4 uf a dash 
and dem smiles melt to smirks
you g'un get 'em speculatin' bout ourses ability to mother ours chilren' 

Dey gone think we done been knocked up 
Dey gone think all dem brown babes ain't wanted
