  • Mama’s Rap

    Yo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Listen up to the Mama

    In her drama bout the change

    I’m feelin’ like an arrow

    Target ready / taking aim

    Some think I’m going crazy 

    Yeah actin’ insane

    Damn right

    I got an attitude

    But let me explain

    I said

    Who-decided-the-rules 

    To diss my clock

    To say-I-got-to-keep-tickin’ 

    When I wants to tock

    To say growin’ old is ugly and sad

    To throw me-away-like-trash

    Like I just been had

    They say about forty our best life begins

    But some dimwits won’t let us win

    To be women now 

    Wise and strong

    Liftin’ us up

    Where we belong

    I’m sixty-seven now

    And in another stage

    It’s me writin’ chapters 

    For my next page

    You men and you women 

    Listen up and take note 

    This sister’s not crazy

    She’s got a new coat!
