EX D.C. MAYOR BACK ON THE BALLOT FOR CITY COUNCIL
EX D.C. MAYOR BACK ON THE BALLOT FOR CITY COUNCIL By: G.Marnier - SatireNewsService Primary day in the District of Columbia saw most of the Democrats re-nominated for the City Council, but the biggest surprise was the emergence of former three-term Mayor Marion Barry who was arrested in 1990, convicted of drug use and removed from office. After spending six months in jail, he was elected to the City Council in 1992 and two years later, re-elected Mayor. Much of his power was taken away in 1997 when Congress put City agencies under a control board. He chose to not seek a fifth term in 1998. In 2002, however, he ran for City Council but withdrew when police claim they found $5 worth of crack in his car. He denied the charge. In an effort to appear contrite for his past, Barry asked his favorite rapper A. Nonny Moose, to write a song to be sung to his supporters after the primary vote was counted. Moose, a former crack user, accepted the request but unbeknownst to Barry, he had changed his life, no longer used drugs and did not vote for Barry. Due to his car breaking down on the beltway, Moose was unable to attend the party but did send SNS a copy the next day. RAPPIN BARRY The gub'ment was out to git me and it just ain't right. All Ah did was smoke a little crack at night And the mornin and the noon and the in-between But Ah never thought Rasheeda would'a had me seen On the TV cameras in the Vista room When all Ah had in mind was some boom, boom, boom. But Ah picked up the pipe like Ah done befoe And Ah drew it in kinda nice and slow Looked at mahself in the mirror on the wall Looked like a mayor standin up so tall Then Ah took mah jacket and headed for the door When the Dee Cee cops, FBI and more Grabbed me by the shoulders and pulled me back All because they seen me smoke a little crack. Took my blood and hair and spit and pee. Made me so damn mad Ah could hardly see. Rasheeda set me up. Can't believe that bitch. Then Ah got mah ass in a ten foot ditch. Ahd been workin so hard in the wee small hours Prowlin round the city, runnin into cars With mah ladies and mah pushers and mah big time connections 'Course a lotta them now in the house of co-rections. It didnt make me any less a sport. They're the ones convicted in the District Court. Was a shame on the city when a man like me Who was mayor had to lie to the grand juree. Wasnt nobody's business what Ah done with mah nose. Not the grand juree or the tee vee shows. Ah could do what Ah wanted, any time or place. Ah was mayor of Dee Cee with my handsome face. Ah was mayor. Ah'm a stud. Ah'm a real cool dude. Rich Dee Cee folks should be gettin screwed. Ah had the power and Ah always got the vote Made no difference what Ah did on the boat Or the Democrat convention and the Super Bowl And the Pardis restaurant and City Hall The Ramada Inn and mah women's houses In their bathrooms, in their bedrooms On their libin room couches, In the Virgin Islands, the Bahamas, too. 'Bout the only place Ah didn't was the Dee Cee zoo. Mah body is a temple. Mah mind is pure. The U.S. Gub'ment is a pile of manure. Opium, hash, crack and coke Never shoulda been convicted, it's a great big joke. Ah'm a hero to the people, here 'em sing and shout At the courthouse, in the churches, how they all still turn out. The voters are mah friends 'cause Ah tell 'em Ah Am repentant for the times Ah was flyin so high. We gather 'round and we all hold hands. 'Bout the only thing missin is the big brass bands. Ah cry when Ah tell 'em Ah been clean so long. And they go on believin Ah can do no wrong. So the kids drop out and the schools shut down And the budget's shot. Once Ah owned this town. If the streets needed pavin and the trash was pilin high >From mah million dollar office all Ah saw was sky. Long as I got mine, what the hell did I care? Ah was known round the world as the Dee Cee mayor. By: A. NONNY MOOSE Unaware of the lyrics, Barry left the party and headed for the DNC headquarters to accept Kerry's promised support in the upcoming election.
