Shine and the Titanic
One beautiful day,
in the merry month of May,
the great Titanic sailed away
The captain and the lieutenant was having a few words,
when the great Titanic hit that mighty ice burg
Shine was in the boiler room eating some peas,
and the water come damn near up to his knees
Before Shine could take a bite of bread,
that water come darn near up to his head
Shine run up on the deck and said,
" Captain! Captain! That water come damn near up to my neck!"
The captain said, "Shine go back, pack the sack,
we got enough sacks to keep this water back."
" You stand up here study, bullshiting, and drinking,
but can't you see this raggedy hunk-of-junk is slowly sinking?"
He said, ' I'll be in New York unpacking my trunk
when the news reach the world, this junk done sunk."
The captain said, " Shine, go back and fear no doubt
before I take this 2 by 4 and wear your black ass out."
Shine said," Captain, the shit you talking might a once been true,
but this is one time your muthafuckin talk ain't gonna do."
Shine run and jumped into the ocean,
with his black ass doing a back deal in motion
About that time all these rich broads run and jumped up on the top,
one broad hollered, "Shine, stop!"
All this good stuff for you I will give
if you make it possible for me to live."
Shine said," Bitch! I like your shape and I like your plan
but you should have been offering me your stuff when we was on dry land
If I was gonna be seeing ass off your piece of trim,
you woulda had my black ass hangin from the highest limb."
Here come another broad and hollerin, "Shine! Shine! Shine! I'm the captain's wife,
I want you to save my life.
Said, I've been through the cotton fields and waded through the mill,
said, honey, I'm a soul sister, baby, and we from the same blood."
"Bitch, you can talk so sweet and you sang so fine
but you shouldn't a brought your high yellow ass across that darn color line.
Said, I'm the one you call the boiler room flunkie,
now keep your ass on this ship and drown with these honkies."
When the news got around the world that the great Titanic had hit the big iceberg,
Shine was in Chicago on Cathge Grove and 3rd
Palm on his knees done nickle eyes shoot in a dime shop to pass
I left 10,000 rich muthafuckas swingin on their ass
And everyone wonders why Shine didn't drown,
he had a cork stuck up in his butt and he couldn't go down.
THAT’S IT - SO GO BACK TO DOLEMITE
