Toni Morrison |
My favorite novel by Toni Morrison is «Sula», 'cause I feel like— |
I remember, in the book «Song of Solomon», one of my favorite books, |
there was a group of vigilantes called Seven Days, I believe they were called, |
and they— |
My favorite Toni Morrison book is still «The Bluest Eyes». |
every time I read |
this book— |
My favorite for Toni Morrison is — |
«Beloved» |
My favorite by her would have to «Beloved" — |
book and «The Mercy" — |
My favorite Toni Morrison book is «The Bluest Eye" — |
«Beloved» |
Used to wonder «Whose little girl am I?» |
The fifth woman inside, bangin' Simona, Mama’s old 45s |
score for «The Bluest Eye» |
Kept they yearnin' low tide until Pecola bought that bird in the mine |
Most vulnerable kind, black girl, lost and could find |
In that double conscious outlined by Du Bois in his prime |
Who heard us cry when the dawn told us black was a crime? |
Arrest your walk with that sword in your spine |
, tragic victim of time, rewind the memory |
Collective genetics took you to write that simile |
Inscribe the cage, find joy through the pain |
And Frankie Beverly, trapped in the maze, made niggas and slaves |
and maids made to lay a made bed |
Spread legs, master’s entertainment |
Prescribed invisible lives till you reframed it |
Denied the white gaze, another brush to paint with |
How can one hand hold the pen |
One pen hold the people? |
One hand hold the pen (Uh) |
One pen hold the people (One hand, one pen, uh) |
How can one hand hold the pen (Uh, one hand) |
One pen hold the people? |
(One pen, uh) |
One hand hold the pen (Uh) |
One pen hold the people (Uh, yo, uh, yo) (Toni Morrison) |
Now, though the world was three-fifths and fractured |
We whole and main characters |
Female protagonists, centralized blackness |
That «Tar Baby», that «Jazz» riff that came after |
That Shadrack horror when war left us shattered |
A literary photograph capture born |
Before the wounded, was you who knew the magic from the rain |
The thunder, the blood, the delightful compassion |
Showed us that bottom was the top, re-imagine, yes |
See how you write with the hands of God |
Layers, facades, calm, poised, Phylicia Rashad |
Reading your storm over us all |
Mother and daughter bonds, braided and torn |
All the chaos, Sula watched the bird from the front yard |
Mother of metaphor, the height of Zeus be your lexicon |
«Song of Solomon» songs go on |
A Pulitzer, Nobel Prize in human form |
The livin', the dead, you honored us all |
How can one hand hold the pen |
One pen hold the people? |
(Toni, huh) |
One hand hold the pen |
One pen hold the people (Uh) |
How can one hand hold the pen |
One pen hold the people? |
One hand hold the pen |
One pen hold the people (Toni Morrison) |
How can one hand hold the pen |
One pen hold the people? |
(Uh) |
One hand hold the pen |
One pen hold the people |
How can one hand hold the pen |
One pen hold the people? |
One hand hold the pen |
One pen hold the people (Toni Morrison) |
Toni Morrison |
One hand, one pen, Toni Morrison, uh |
One hand, one pen, the people (Toni Morrison) |
Toni Morrison is so important because her writing is a visualization into the |
depth of meaning of the black experience. |
She uses the rich mythology and |
metaphors of the African-American experience to anchor and enrich her personal |
imagery in the book. |
Her work demonstrates both the uniqueness and the |
universality of African-American life. |
Her work heals the disrupted ancestral |
energies, heals the torn ancestral soul, and reveals the beauty, vigor, pathos, |
and durability of African-American life and culture |
How can one hand hold the pen |
One pen hold the people? |
(Uh) |
One hand hold the pen |
One pen hold the people (Toni Morrison) |
How can one hand hold the pen |
One pen hold the people? |
(Toni Morrison) |
One hand hold the pen |
One pen hold the people (Toni Morrison) |
How can one hand hold the pen |
One pen hold the people? |
One hand hold the pen |
One pen hold the people (Uh) |
How can one hand hold the pen |
One pen hold the people? |
(Uh) |
One hand hold the pen |
One pen hold the people (Toni Morrison) |
