“ . . . On a plane drinking wine with Oprah / When I missed the dap I ain't mean to insult her / Black Caesar, Io amo Roma / Tutto bene, vino rosso . . .”
“ . . . We need Avas, Ta-Nehisis, and Cory Bookers / The salt of the Earth to get us off of sugar and greasy foods / I don't believe the news or radio / Stereotypes we refuse / Brainwashed in the cycle to spin / We write our own story, black America again // [James Brown:] You know, one way of solving a lot of problems that we've got is lettin' a person feel that they're important. And a man can't get himself together until he knows who he is, and be proud of what and who he is and where he come from . . .”
