*i am cryin' tears flowin' all inside
of my head
i am wanting you even if your intent
was to have me mislead
i am cryin' and i need your touch
fuck this ghetto shit baby
i need your love....sounds familiar?

but you keep saying just alil' bit longer....we dyin' baby they keep lyin' baby










rain drops keep fallin' on my head


they keep fallin'


rain drops keep fallin' from my soul


you keep ballin'


just alittle bit longer


just a lil'


men friend keep fallin' out the trees


they keep fallin'


women folk who loves them they keep fallin'


they keep fallin'


and you say just alittle longer


just a lil'


and my soul aches


too long have i been waiting too long


just a lil'


Malcolm dead yall brother Malcolm


and Martin Lord he gone brother Martin


and the attack is on yall brother sharpton


brother jackson


and they digging up dirt brother Kwame


mayor kwame


brothas been shooting up far too long


been wearing pants all wrong


yall don't understand the master plan yall just


don't understand


i hate black people


i hate niggas yall


they been supressed far too long yall


far too long


ain't they got no sense


and the rain drops keep fallin' on my head


they keep fallin'


nappy head hoes


they keep fallin'


and these women are pros


but they keep fallin'


blame it on rappers


blame keep fallin....and thought he got


fired


he retired and be laughing


wider riff !!!!!


 watch them fallin'


and you make your money


dodgin' and fallin'


just fallin'


and i say f*** this ghetto shit


but i keep fallin'


words so angry they melt before they get


out my mouth


they keep fallin


trees and flowers don't grow from concrete


they keep fallin


and babies our babies see


stravin' they is stravin'


like we when moms and pops were fallin'


and they was fallin'


our babies they


 they need they sun


and they need they air


cause they need to breathe


even on these concrete streets......


and say f.#% that B$%^&&!!!


i am happy to be nappy


and i say kiss my A*&$!!!


too proud to worry bout you


master liar


and i wonder why we ain't all crazy as hell


hell keep fallin'


and you baby


my man child you keep fallin'


smear blood cross school walls


watch them fallin'


and i wonder why we all ain't crazy as hell


hell keep fallin


and baby i spread my smell on words


between lines


so you don't forget about me


while yo ass in jail


and i'm sure to be on my way


holdin it down


cause you need your mags


and phone calls


and rain drops keep fallin' on my head they keep fallin'

Great cultural emotion, Mitzi! These lines evoke something out of Elvis's In the Ghetto and the Pointer Sisters It's Raining Men - Hallelujah! This whole scene is so damn cinematic, right out of the series In The Heat of the Night, the geographical location of Bottoms (the ghettos) in the show. You got it REAL, girl...keep 'em coming...

I can't add much to what the others say, Mitzi, except to appreciate the wonderful way you are able to use our art to vent and inform, and reiterate take care of yourself. I saw the people in Philadelphia allowed to plant trees and flowers--hope you can do it there too...Jerry

Your raw emotions laid out to dry. No need to use &*%$ when you own the words. Got me where it hurts.

SO powerful, SO sad. . .and so well written. . .with such passion and courage. . .that I find it hard not to take pleasure. Firmly believe that if talented artists such as yourself keep insisting you be heard, you WILL be. Not only will more people pay attentioln, they
will change. HAVE TO h o p e, don't we? B e l i e v e.
Prejudice and the hate that keeps it burning have caused more damage than all the hurricanes, tornadoes, and tsunamis that have struck since homo sapiens emerged from the slime [many forgetting to wipe it
off?} Tell it, my friend. TELL IT !! xOx Pea xOx

Much anger, Mitzi, in effecting verse, along with a deep, lingering sadness...excellently penned.

(((HUGS))) and love, Karla.

You got it right, Mitzi. No misbelieving what you wrote. Got my hackles up. Remember Tawana Brawley and Al Sharpton, she with poop all over her and Al backed her. The United Church of Christ back "him" on his BIG day in court when he got off. Didja see him on the interstate in St. Louis holding up traffic.

And the rain keeps falling on the truly rightious minorities.....
