karen (mom's day)

by buttercup (feat. karen)


karen (née vanée shaw) shaw mcdowell
who was half today's age
when they wrapped a towel
around the kid rapping
she probably stoked he's not a rapper
instead he's filus, hijo, musuko
young master
kid raised in the days of her post grad youth
who she saw smile pink prior to his fist tooth
stayed home honing math skill
till they numbered 32

scary dictionaries and diction
became soothing, new things
like raw data, weird cool colors
are stuff the kid likes
thanks to super snob mother
wordy nerd lady
learning gab from her spouse
starting to look like him
mickey n minnie mouse

cute, sweet, chill, nice, generous heart
lol cool antonyms for what the lady is, tart
queen of the mop top crop top dread fade
smart like harvard, my alma mater
when afraid
whoops first person might as well address
that i like that diamond gold
blue and navy tribal dress

thanks for all the food mom
thanks for the milk
sorry for all my friends of bohemian ilk
but i like you and i like that
i have a cool mom friend
cause a long line of not very progressive
mommies can end

tart's mild manner compared to
icy spice poison, feel like i have room
to grow out of this giant boy-son
into a galaxy sized star field
light bending game changer
and if you think its been weird so far
it gets stranger

thanks for the genes, long legs
and tight woven synapses
now listen to what the bridge of this rap says

you are so beautiful to me
can't you seeee
you are so beautiful because you look like me

if you want do something
guess what u can do it
mom's day, lady
