Untitled

New piece I'm working on... Check it out


.... I had no other options

Falling in love with a white woman's white husband

Only because they took my husband

Mine was gone

And white people and black people looking at me like I'm the one who's wrong

Coming off of a shipwreck

After four hundred years of chains, what exactly did you expect

I've been jumping through circus hoops to and still

I can't get your respect.

I was out there slaving, rice raising, growing and cutting sugar cane and

Cotton pickin.

Forced to embrace everything I was gettin'

From whip slashes

To cabin rape

To breast feeding white children, to death for escape

.....

Stitches of my Heart Do you know how to sow If a woman can do a quick weave I don't see why not Or a surgeon getting ready for operation Or a woman who just had a c- section Hey, snitches get stitches
