Can I have some crayons and paper I wanna draw I wanna draw my momma My momma pretty She always been pretty
Why the white lady over there say She don’t like my momma Momma ain’t do nothin to her My momma got dreams She a princess And she always wanted a horse She keep talkin’ bout it To Rico, Ms Purty and Daddy All the time She want a horse So when I get big Imma buy her That horse, Cause she keep settling for The one she see In that burnt bent spoon An’ I don’t never see no horses In there, but she do I think Cause she always get quiet when she burn the spoon And she always be nodding Like she riding the horse Right then And he rockin’ her to sleep
My daddy don’t like dreamin tho Cause he always come home and wake momma up He just a big strong man And he be tryin to make us tough So he hit me and her But she stronger than me Cause she take it better She just go and find her Horse and lets him rock Her to sleep again And she fine, It’s me that’s weak But I’m learnin Cause daddy loves me I know cause He buys me crayons And I color My favorite drawing Is when I draw White lines on my paper Cause I see My Daddy and Rico draw them on the table An I’mma Be like them when I’m big So I draw Like them
Why do you look at me like that mista Like somethin wrong witcha eyes Like you’re sad Are you sad mista?
What color crayons you got? I wanna draw some more
I wanna draw my big strong daddy Cause I miss him
Where’d he go? Well I was walkin home from school once And I saw my big black daddy Resting on the street leaning Against a big green dumpster I said hi and ran up to him To hug him But he was sleep
Do you have any red crayons I wanna draw the red hole He had in his pretty blue shirt momma bought him For Christmas It was round and red flowed from it Like it was fresh ketchup And wine that momma be drinkin sometimes When she wakes up from her dreams I wondered why daddy was leakin But he was sleep So he didn’t tell me How to do that magic trick Then some white people came and put me in a car They drove me to my Aunt Karen’s house And said daddy wasn’t comin home no more And momma went to the hospital Cause she was sick
I liked Aunt Karen’s house because She was nice to me She taught me things Like how to make men happy She used to make men happy a lot And I learned quick So quick that some of her friends used to come see me They’d buy me toys and Give me money And I liked that
But then Auntie got sick Do you have any purple? I wanna color the colors she had on her Face and legs She didn’t want me to see her change colors but the make up she wore didn’t hide them
I thought it was cool How she could do magic too But she didn’t do it long
Do you have any black, Or grey Cause I wanna color the smoke That showed me How to do my daddy’s Magic trick To myself Cause I made Rico mad at me Cause he wanted me To do what Aunt Karen taught me And he was drawing white on the table And I spilled it When I went Down there And I was scared that I messed up his picture And accidentally Clicked my teeth And he hit me He hit me so hard my eyes Closed And I fell
He showed me Daddy’s trick Because he had it All in his lap And pointed thunder at me Then I had it all over me
Can I have that white back I wanna draw you And the clouds
You know what? I wanna draw Eleven But I don’t know how? Can you show me I never saw eleven But it must be nice too
