  • Now The time is now my people, To take your stand, Within the world It's time for you to be the mayor, the governor, the president, and the beauty queen It's time for your Beauty to stand tall And speak out It's time for the "Revolution of the Mind" I say, "Study Black sisters and brothers" Show them you know more than shining shoes and cleaning homes Show them, "You, give a damn!" and that you love and have pride Show them you are Somebody. Show them now! Karen Houston Looking For the something - Else (A Sisters' Rap) Girl, I don't like no Black man with that real nappy hair; Child, I like that good stuff. And don't give me no Black man with no real dark skin; See, I like 'em high yellow. I just can't put up with that so called "black dialect;" Honey, I like a smooth talking dude. I mean, I need something I can deal with. Yea girl, I know just what you mean. You mean you don't want a Black man; Because his hair is nappy - his skin is dark - and his dialect is a symphony composed for his black women. Janice Townsend
