The Revolutionary Screw
The Revolutionary Screw (for my blacksisters)
brothers, i under/overstand the situation:
i mean-- u bes hitten the man hard all day long. a stone revolutionary, "a full time revolutionary." tellen the man how bad u is & what u goin ta do & how u goin ta do it.
it must be a bitch to be able to do all that talken. (& not one irregular breath fr/yr/mouth) being so forceful & all to the man's face (the courage) & u not even cracken a smile (realman).
i know, the sisters just don't understand the pressure u is under.
& when u ask for a piece of leg/ it's not for yr/self but for yr/people-------it keeps u going & anyway u is a revolutionary & she wd be doin a revolutionary thing.
that sister dug it from the beginning, had an early-eye. i mean she really had it together when she said: go fuck yr/self nigger.
now that was revolutionary.
