Listen clearly
I --
can only speak so loudly
Not All Art Goes Down in History.
I am not good enough,
my voice will never be loud enough
I will never be tall enough-
to see the tops of people heads as they
pass me by.
I sneak under-
elbows
and weave through
tight squeezes,
but--
I can only go up from here.
I\'m just a little white girl that grew up just off shore from Chi-City
and I-
just fucking got here.
I only got a few dollars in my pocket
but
I got my Pup riding shotty
and we\'re already scaling rockie\'s
Because-
I don\'t need to be taller than you
to know I am stronger than you
I don\'t need to be louder than you
to know my voice is more powerful then you
My daddy taught me
\"Never mistake a quiet mouth for a quiet mind\"
he\'d lean to me
\"Its always the fools that flap baby\"
I put thought in my words
I put heart in my words
Don\'t take this discussion lightly
I\'m kind of quiet when you meet me.
but--
I\'ve got
my eyes on the skies
and you
could never reach me
from
way
up
here.
