CHALLENGER'S RAP

• Just Me Story Telling
•  
• I Remember Back In The Day
• I'd Be In Kindergarten Looking At Caucasian Faces
• Thinking To Myself "I Wonder Why They Look At Me That Way"
• Or Why Wen Go Out For Recess
• They Play Jump Rope
• The Beautiful Nappy Headed Princess Can't Play
• Going Home And Telling Mom's How I Had A Rough Day
• Then Momma Telling Me "Elaia Everything Will Be Okay"
• I Just Thought To Myself "How Can Momma Say This When We Living In A One Room Apartment And We Number One On The Eviction List"
• Looking At Momma Back Then She Was So Strong Without A Crack In Her Smile
• We Didn't Have It All But Just Our Love For Each Other Lasted Us For A While
• I Remember Momma Crying Wen Daddy Had Fuckin Left
• It Took A Turn For The Worse For Real When Momma Went Down In Her Health
• I Remember Walking Alone Those Dark, Cold Loney Nights
• And Scared Cuz Momma Told Me Have My Ass Back Before The Beginning Of Our Block City Lights
• I Remember Walkin To Get Groceries For Momma And Getting Pulled Over By That Cop
• Chubby, Mixed Nationality, And A Cherry lollipop
• Rolled Out The Window And Called Out "Lil Nigger U Failed The Stop"
• I Turned Around With All The Sass
• The Cop Watching My Ass
• And Said "Officer Watch Your Language Cuz I Sure Ain't No Nigger"
• His Face Just Like His Lollipop And His Size Getting Bigger
• He Said "What Did U Say" Full Of Hate, Disgust And Rage
• I Just Wished I Kept My Mouth Shut, My Eyes In My Book, And Continued To Turn The Page
• He Pulled Me Close Feeling All Down My Shirt
• I Told Him "Lemme Go Or I Promise You'll Surely Be Hurt"
• He Said To Me "What U Gone Do? Who Gone Tell? Don't Nobody Love A Nigga Runt U Better Off In Hell"
• By Now I'm So Heated And I'm Ready To Kill
• But I Can't Because If I'm Locked Up Who Gone Pay Momma's Bills
• The Cop Kissed My Lips With Stale Beer On His Breath I Tried To Bite His Lip Off With All The Strength I Had Left
• He Just Punched Me In The Jaw Hard Enough To Bruise My Face
• Till This Day I Still Don't Understand Why People Think African Americans Are An Inferior Race
• But Back To The Story We On The Floor He Done Tore Open My Shirt
• Got His Pants Down Hands All Up My Skirt
• I'm Sobbing All On The Floor Feeling Lower Then Dirt
• Praying To GOD Make It Stop Because This Shiit Really Hurts
• Lucky Someone Shouts "Hey What Are You Doing"
• The Cop Gets Up And Fake Cries
• Just Little Me Boo - Hooing
• I See My Chance And I Take I Run So Quick
• Took The Bus Home Took A Shower And Found Out I Hate Dick
• I Didn't Tell Momma Tho Because I Knew She Would Worry
• But Now I'm Strapped But That 9 In A Hurry Its 16 Years Later And Now I'm 23
• And I'm Loved By Every Face I Meet No Matter The Race I See
• I'm Loved And I'm Queen Just Like Momma
• Now She Is 76 And Living Without Drama
• I Got Money And Lots Of Things That I Give To The Poor
• I Even Made A Big Bed And Let The Homeless Do My Door
• I Just Don't Want Them To Go Through What I Did Sleeping All On The Floor
• I've Even Opened Up A African Pride Shop With All Trinkets More
• Antiques, Music, Portraits, Gems We Have All The Galore
• Now I Smile And Help Each And Every Body
• I'm A Strong African American Women Named Elaia And I'm Loved And Living Free
• I See I Done Came A Long Way From Nappy Headed, Little, Old Me
