jimmy (usa) - poindexter: act i. - iv. lyrics
intro
friday, february 13th, 1998
i was brought into this world
jimmy deon poindexter
i was so quiet, everyone thought i was dead
i was so hairy, they called me taz
i had a winnie the pooh blanket
act i
verse 1
i’m headed for school, police on the corner
as soon as i leave, they kickin’ down the door
they doin’ a sting, my brother was sleep now he down on his knees
with his hands to his back while they take everything
they lookin’ through things, they took my money thinkin’ it was from weed
but all they found was little nuggets and grams, but not enough to put my dad in a jam
fast forward, playin’ call of duty
when my brothеr walk in it was like a movie
welts all on facе bruises on his arms, blood all on shirt
i became alarmed
he got jumped by n+ggas at the liquor store
stomped him out, his beats by dre were on the floor
that’s the first time that i felt a real rage
like i really wanted to go drill thangs
then my +beep+ found out who it was
got them n+ggas touched, didn’t get the fuzz
usually i’m not a fan of violence, but you touch my family i don’t give a f+ck
everybody die, everybody die
i can’t guarantee that justice won’t arrive
how i feel inside
cycle of revenge, everyday it ends, everyday begins
trauma generational i’ve made amends
i forgive the ones before me, no resent
we don’t get to pick and choose where we descend
make a conscious effort everyday to win
i can’t play pretend, i ain’t one of y’all
everything that made me wasn’t typical
25 years felt like 20 more
light years up ahead, i gotta be a star
interlude
i started makin’ beats on magix music maker
i use to hide my laptop and act like i wasn’t
i started listening to mixtapes on datpiff
wiz, sean, young money, of, a$ap all that
act ii
verse 2
i was at home, i heard a women yellin’
tellin’ my step mom that her husband was over marriage
his infidelity led to me movin’ back with my mom
and every visit with her is just like a tickin’ bomb
at any moment, unmedicated she’ll lose her calm
but the last few visits ended alright, went in lukewarm
was always glad to see her and judgin’ by her demeanor
she wasn’t mean, she loved her son and meant no harm
fast forward, august the 20th on her birthday
it was a premonition of what’s to come on our worst days
she mixed the liquor with her prescriptions, a recipe for disaster
and did i mention she invited one who wronged her?
couple hours in she beat ’em to near death
blood all on the kitchen floors, a horror movie was set
got bloods from next door to jump em in the parkin’ lot
then he fled without his vehicle, i felt his soul come out
i won’t forget the phone calls that i made with tears in my eyes
next mornin’ enrolled in school felt like she wore a disguise
as if she did not just get revenge in the evening before
had to lie to police just keep her out of the court
after that it’s solidified that i’m changin’ my course
i had to help people out with this gift that i just endorsed
had to be someone different
had to break up the cycle
only money can fix it
only time is my rival
act iii
interlude 2
i just got my first apartment with eve
i was about to drop gnarly, the billboards were ready
call me if you get lost just dropped
life was alright
verse 3
from sleepin’ in my car to shoppin’ at the mall
ps5 my living room, my stress was low, my money tall
we balled like eve’s head
music videos and silly clothes
felt like a reset
i had to take a deep breathe
was workin’ on some string sections
was in my zone
hit the grove with my n+ggas and had a banner get flown over fairfax
had my armor on they like “who dat?” (who dat n+gga?)
was talkin’ to them a&rs so i can get a new bag
and the rest was history
act iv
outro
thank you for comin’ out
i go by the name of jimmy aka jimbolini aka rap game taskmaster aka the west coast maverick
i hope you enjoyed the show. i hope this made you feel somethin’. i know how rare that is these days
thank you to my lovely wife for helping me deliver yet another experience to you. her ideas are the best. and shoutout to my family for well you know— existing i guess

i must go home
i must go home
i must go home
i must go home
