Banging, Banging,Banging

Akilah Babb 1985 (Bronx)



Banging banging banging over me
24/7 upstairs over me
I've been complaining against this
Neighbor since I've moved in
But they let keep doing it and more violently
I can't count how many times
That she has threatened me
She has shown that she doesn't care
And her child can make noise across their
Floor, yet over my ceiling?
Lord, please tell me the meaning
Of this injustice cuz now it's
After 12am before the morning?
I'm not calling the cops on your child, but against her because she not letting the both of us sleep
Please send someone to investigate
This whole scam
