Themes: Black people building collaborative relationships across lines of education, life experience and income producing net positive benefits for Black institutions; Black men supporting Black women as leaders is really cool and sexy; people from small towns can leave, go on adventures and still make critical contributions to those communities; dance, fun, and humor are really major components of life; Montgomery hometown pride can be thick to the point of annoying people who don't share it

Once upon a time a long time ago
A young boy lost his mind couldn't find his way home
He was on his grind trying to pay his student loans
up and down the broken roads,
all he owned was his phone
It was Providence that on one of these trip
lady hit his telegram
she said drop it down here
He pulled up at the address
just so he could make a flip
with that abracadabra and then he disappear
Sumn bout this customer seemed real fam-ill-e-her
he go he go he go
Oh my God i think i know ol girl
he got that out his mind then he started asking her
Where she used to go to school and then where her momma worked (wah wah wah)
Before long she was like ok I know this man (shegoshegoshego)
They were in the corner back at Zelia Stephens holding hands
She got her diploma made her great grand momma holy dance
Then she got diploma on diploma
but she missed the land
G town

earth kept spinning round
there at Brown University (brown university)
Love birds chirping
Tweeting it’s our anniversary
Built a nest together,
singing St James Infirmary
Every Sunday morning while they tended to the nursery
Sent the lamest death threats on a daily basis
All she did was make a solid case for local reparations
“Show me where I’m lying”
her book title very celebrated
They did more than try her,
she v grind when v fall on left side (she > grind)
SHE DID MORE THAN GRINDING
late and early
she was always up for smoke (bring it)
The students and the faculty demanded she do more (what what)
Innervisions playing
Stevie whispered through the smoke
Look
both you need to go
Before they grind her to the bone
Take her home
So he said
Black girl @ Brown got me at a white party

Black girl @ Brown got me at a white party
Black girl @ Brown got me at a white party
They keep laughing at my accent cause they think it’s funny
I keep em laughing while I bring their monies to Montgomery
