Analysis of Neighbors



When neighbors were neighbor, they would see your children out after dark and make a call. When neighbors were neighbors, you could say, watch my door, while I run to the store. When neighbors were neighbors, they would inform you, your Lil Candi wasnt playing with her toys, she was watching them boys. When neighbors were neighbors, you can say, I haven’t ate and they’ll offer you a plate. When neighbors were neighbors they would inform you about your Lil Timmy cutting class and offer you a belt for his a**.  Now neighbors will see your children in the dark and say, that’s not my call.  Now you can’t watch say, watch my door, because  neighbors will be your house like a theft in a store Now the neighbors will hook your lil Candi with boys and call around and talking about your little whore.  Now the neighbors don’t care if you haven’t ate, because money is the only thing that will get you a plate. Now your Lil Timmy can cut class. If your neighbors see u hit  him, they will call them folks on your a**. I sure miss my old neighbors, because the ones we have today, all I can say, let us pray
