The House That Crack Built By Clark Taylor (1992)

…And these are the Tears we cry in our sleep that fall for the Baby with nothing to eat, Born of the Girl who’s killing her brain, smoking the Crack that numbs the pain, Bought from the Boy feeling the heat, Chased by the Cops working the beat who battles the Gang, fleet and elite, that rules the Street of a town in pain that cries for the Drug known as cocaine, Made from the Plants that people can’t eat, Raised by the Farmers who work in the heat, and fear the Soldiers who guard the Man, who lives in the House that crack built.

Ask a question that I know the answer to! My little sister who is five is the most annoying little brat.
