a black woman...finds a lamp in the sand she picks and rubs it and out comes a genie...and he said look ive been in that lamp for 300 years i have no time for bullshit...you have two wishes...and she said 'y two?'..he said 'because ur a nigger and you only get two...'...she said i want a bridge and i want it stretched from LA to africa so my ppl can go back anytime they wish...he said " im not god..next wish" she said ' well i wish my ppl and i had the same equal rights as white folks' and the genie said ' how do you want that bridge...wood or cement?' lmao
when i was one and twenty i heard a wise man say
give crowns and pounds and guineas
but not your heart away
give pearls away and rubies
but keep ur fancy free
but i was one and twenty
no use to talk to me
when i was one and twenty
i heard him say again
the heart of the bosom
was never given in vain
tis paid with sighs a plenty
and sold for endless rue
and i am two and twenty
and oh tis tru tis tru
