We real cool

We Real Cool?
AMW !.e. Talent: Matt Don

Stop to think some time on how things of the past seem to represent themselves in the present. I wanted to share a simple poem that holds true today. from 1959 till today, it is relevant and in a scary way seems to reflect hip-hop culture and it's current course. what do you think of when your hear this?

WE REAL COOL

BY: Gwendolyn Brooks

THE POOL PLAYERS.
SEVEN AT THE GOLDEN SHOVEL.


We real cool. We
Left school. We

Lurk late. We
Strike straight. We

Sing sin. We
Thin gin. We

Jazz June. We
Die soon.
