RIPE AND READY

 

You could possibly make love to me

But please bear in mind

That I come with excess baggage

 

Economic depression

2 .6 million crying tar babies

Mocha refugees

And café-au-lait-wannabe-living-white-fantasies

 

I might allow you to enter me

Screw with my mind

Your tongue weaving prose

With words I want to hear

You say

All the right things

 

Do you still,

Y’know, waan fi

Dispel nigger lies

And reclaim our heritage together

With rhythmic

G-spot exploration

Fusing

Black cherry juices

With your ancestors legacy?

 

I am ready

Ripe and Ready

To bear fruit.
