    One of my favorite CDs of all time is Black Sheeps "A Wolf in Sheep's Clothing" -- still listen to it regularly today. But I had a question on two of the lines -- I think they show up several times. Does anyone know what they're talking about here:


    "I remain sober when I drop a hit,
    But I put gum in my ass cause I like to pop shit."

    ... gum in my ass? What the hell is he talking about?



    "But in the meantime, I try to hawk one
    I try to hawk one, in the meantime"

    ... hawk what? Spit?


    And what's the connotation on a "Strobe-light ho" and "Similak Child?"

    Thanks,

    Gum in my ass is a word play off of his likin to pop (talk) shit. He doesn't mean it literally. :rofl:

    Don't know about the hawk shit.

    A strobelight ho is a chick who looks fine when you're dancin with her at a party, but scary as shit when you get her in the light. I would need to see how he used Similac Child, but most likely that means the chick is jailbait...it has long been thought in urban circles (hell, I think I came up with the original theory) that Similac (Soy based milk substitute for feeding babies) makes kids develop prematurely...especially the girls.
    Alright
    Tap the lightpole and we'll be jammin all night
    And ain't nobody callin' the cops
    'Cause everybody's here freakin', if they're older they're doin the rock
    And every block from all around
    Comes runnin' to the park when they hear the sound
    And soon the word's spreadin' through our part of town
    "Yo, 40 Park y'all, Jam-On's gettin down"
    Yeah...
