John Tibeats Run **** run, run so fast/Stoved his head in a hornets nest/Run **** run well the pattyroller'll get you/ Run **** run well you better get away.
Clemens If you want to survive, do and say as little as possible. Tell no one who you really are and tell no one that you can read and write. Unless you want to be a dead ****.
Mary Epps You will remove that black bitch from this property, or I'll take myself back to Cheneyville.
