Description Of A Fool
Lyricist:Roy Ayers, Michelle Anders Birdsong, Kamaal Ibn John Fareed, Ali Shahe Jones-muhammad

The young man aggravated grabbed him back and smacked him The girl just laughed and laughed and laughed at him He felt ashamed for what he had done It looked like a fool to everyone
These are three stories from the naked city Reality, is sometimes a ditty Like Godzilla from the twilight zone Earth to your brain, is anyone home?
I see ya there, tryin' to make amends Try to make some friends, but now my story ends On the note that I just wrote stay afloat on the reality boat Slow down and think and take it cool And try to avoid the description of a
