She'Nyah (Super Kid)
c. '18
Lyrics: L. B. Schwartz, Vlayman
Music: Vlayman
On a sweet summer night on the west side of town.
the family and friends were just hangin',
Just as they'd done since She'Nyah was 4,
She was visitin' her Dad, celebratin'.
"We weren't worried about nobody shooting or nothing," said her aunt,
"We've never had to worry about that."
But everything changed that Thursday night when She'nyah was struck by a bullet in the neck.
A man was hit in the leg, but she was shot in the neck
And they got 'em to Stroger, the man still alive.
But the girl, the sweet little girl on the sidewalk was dead
And how can our children survive?
CH 1:
"And another super kid shot gets shot
They been takin' the best that we got, we got
We try like hell to keep 'em alive,
But how can our children survive?
She'Nyah was funny, loved to dance, straight A's.
And she loved every thing hip-hop.
<radio voice> Chicago police do not believe either victim was the intended target. <radio voice off>
Tell us, y'all when will it stop?
"I just can't believe they took my niece like that, said her aunt,
"She's with family and it's the summertime.
When we come here it's nothin' but love"
And how can our children survive?
CH 2:
"And another super kid shot gets shot
They keep takin' the best that we got, we got
We do our best to raise 'em up right,
And how can our children survive?
She was "smart and real goofy"
This daughter of ours,
Cheerleading and soccer, coulda-shoulda been a star
Battle Creek to Chi-town, with nothin' but love
And how can our children survive?

Scratchin' at My Door
c. '18 Vlayman
They fed you table scraps
You snapped,
You wanted caviar
You didn't get too far with that
Here ya come lookin' for mo-o-o-ore
Yeah I hear ya scratchin' at my door
They laid you down in straw
You wanted more
You wanted silken sheets
So you hadda cheat
CH: 2x
They gave you sour wine
And they took their time
You thirsted for fine champaign
Never mind the pain
They gave you bootleg pils
When you called for thrills
You craved them fine cocaine lines
Never mind the pain

I Need Work
c. '18 Vlayman
I don't mind gettin' up in the morn
even if I'm gonna have a sore head
I'll get to my job each time
Even if I'm half dead
I'll take a shower,put in eye drops and brush my teeth
I'll take pay by the hour, put in my time and nit be a thief
I'm just a guy
who needs work
I don't mind takein' out the trash I'll wash the winders sweep the floor
I can't care if I am yer servant, if I'm yer cleaner, if I'm yer whore
I'll answer yer phone and drive yer daughter home and I'lll never talk back
I'll walk yer dogs and slop yer hogs never touch yer cats
It ain't nothin' that I cannot, will not, would not do for you
And if ya ask me, well under the subpoeny, I won't tell the truth
I'll keep my mouth shut, I'll keep my ears up, I'll be your man
I'll defend you, I'll try and mend you, do all I can

Vlayman Chicago, Illinois
Fat, bald and old - could I be anymo' rock-n-roll?
I play guitar, bass, some keys and percussion, and I try to
vocalize. I write and record, and I do so obsessively. Also, I like martoonies, a lot, and I raise my kids, whom I also like, a lot.
Look for me at the TapeOp and TalkBass forums, where I'm vvv, or in various bars in the Loop.
