You Glow (Interlude)
Alicia Augello Cook
I heard this lil girl in PS257 yelled out one day to the teacher and said
"That shit is whack" and she stood up in the classroom
And walked up from the back and stood in front of the classroom
Where her history was attacked and said
"You are not niggers
As a matter of fact, you are not really even black
I'll prove it to you, I'll put every last one of y'all in a row
Put some Vaseline and baby oil on your face
And look in the mirror. Look my beloved, you glow"
