Influences: all the Gold that rhyme with stole an sold why some people can't stand to see you smile...Pictures worth a thousand words in frames in that blackman's mouth... One Word that paints a thousand pictures if you talkin' truth about the South...My father's incarceration, standin' in line the only caucasian had me question this nation an how it let freedom ring...Ruth J. Simmons, a great-granddaughter of slaves who is the first black president of an Ivy League institution, said in a report: “We cannot change the past. But an institution can hold itself accountable for the past, accepting its burdens and responsibilities along with its benefits and privileges.â€
......the flip side: My Uncle's jokes (when I was about 4 or 5, sort of a head start program...)
Sounds Like: a fist beat a tripolet on the thymus just to release an remind us the grief a 3/5's ain't behind us... & DC where:"Gotdamn!" stands for "how you doin'?" when they KNOW YOU FINE....I seen what cha had to tolerate & that some still say it ain't so....and I know you love who you are and you are one with who you love...
