"Take me across her lap
She used to whip me with a strap
When I was bad"
"—bad"

[Verse 1: Ghostface Killah]
Picture me snotty nose, sittin on my aunt's lap
The kid like 5 or 6, shit, I would curse back
I got it from the older folks, sittin in the living room
Everybody had cups Stylistics song, boom
But then came Darryl Mack lightin' all the reefer up
Baby caught a contact, I'm trying to tie my sneaker up
I'm missing all the loops, strings going in the wrong holes
It feels like I'm wobbling, look at all these afros
Soon as I thought I was good, the joke's on me
I heard a voice, "Get in the room!" I get angry
Stomp my feet, catch a tantrum
Spit, scream, "Fuck that!"
Mom would shake me real hard, then get the big gat
That's called the belt, held me as I yelled
I'm in the room like "Huhn, huhn, huhn," with mad welps
Ragged out, bad belt – yes, her presence was felt
Then get my black ass in the bed, it's time crash out, pass out

[Verse 2: Ghostface Killah]
Despite the alcohol, I had a great old mama
She famous for her slaps, and to this day she's honored
But when I was a lil' dude, her son was a lil' rude
I'd pluck the peas off my plate and pour juice in a nigga food
Get beat, then I'd run, tell grandma, "My mama hit me for no reason!"
She whipped me hard when I finished eatin'
And felt that belt stingin when I wet that bed
Hid my drawers and start crying, when she felt that bed
Caught another when I told her those the fake Pro-Keds
In the corner, weavin' and screamin', trying to block my head ("AahHH!")
Nowadays, kids don't get beat, they get big treats
Fresh pair of sneaks, punishment's like "Have a seat"
Back then when friends and neighbors would bust that ass
And bring you to your momma, yo, she got the switch in the stash
That's back to back beatings
Only went outside for free lunch, with welts on my legs, still leakin', yo
