Growing Up Black and in Chicago |
by Erika Catiz and Devin White |
Us watching "Good Times" Us playing "it" in the park Us swinging on swings Us afraid of the dark Us free styling in the lunchroom Us telling yo' momma jokes Us living to love Hip Hop Us dusty steppin' with old folks Us acrylic nails and finger waves Us rockin' "damaged" and "used" jeans Us box fades and even braids Us cool and thinking we knew everything Us french rolls and Dobb hats Us evening gowns and tuxedos Us great america trips after Us rollin to prom in limos |
