I’ll get out
I’m supposed to be full of anger.
to roll my eyes and neck, suck my teeth and stare down any woman, who’s not a sista, with a brotha
to have 1, maybe 2 children at my age
have an attitude that stinks miles away
have hair bone straight and weaved down my back
to be able to dance. this skill should be inate
love the shit out of some r&b and hip hop
to talk with a certain twang
Lauryn said, ‘I’ll get out’
And I do. We do.
Some are certain they have black defined
Enlighten me, unless it sounds like the first few lines of this
I’ve. heard. that. before.
