It is the way that CL Smooth hits that last bar, the way he uses sound of his voice to achieve the emphasis he wants to make. Smooth’s last two bars that propels the stories that hits what I think is at stake when we let everyone know that we refuse to forget Trayvon or Jordan or Emmett or any black boy: Smooth from their 1992 album featuring T.R.O.Y./They Reminisce Over You, dedicated to their friend Troy Dixon. When I pieced the images together, all I could hear in my head were the words of Pete Rock and C.L. The stories that I am telling here all began with the image that you see above of Trayvon Martin, Jordan Davis, and Emmett Till. Audre Lorde, Sister Ousider, The Transformation of Silence into Language and Action What are the words you do not yet have? What do you need to say? What are the tyrannies you swallow day by day and attempt to make your own, until you will sicken and die of them, still in silence?

Telling me how to raise my boy unless he's taking over

I get the pillow and hope I don't wake himįor this man to cuss, hear it all in verbatim I can hear his head banging on the wall in the next room Never been senile, that's where you're wrong With the Portuguese lover at the age of 14īut I bet you all your dough, they live longer than us Not a bad ticker but I'm clocking pop's liverīut you can never say that his life is through Taking care of this, so who am I to bicker? Took me from a boy to a man so I always had a father When I date back I recall a man off the family tree Listen, positive over negative for the women and master The youngest of five kids, hon' here it is Still he won't down you or tear out your hide Papa said, â€❜hillâ€, but the brother keep winking Same father as the first but you don't give a damn Now I suppose, you hope the little black boy grows, huhīut I really got beatings 'cause the girl loved drama The birth of a child on the 8th of October I reminisce for a spell, or shall I say think back
