Got Over |
| Let me tell you who I am |
| I’m not dead, yet |
| So, the sum total has not yet been added up |
| So let me tell you who I think I am |
| I’m one of the ones of color who got over |
| I’m one of the ones your bullet missed |
| I didn’t graduate high school; |
| not to boast about, but to puzzle over |
| After all, I’ve been awarded thirty-four PhD’s |
| Honorary, they are called, because I defied the rules |
| I’m a dropout |
| Not by choice, but by fate’s sense of humor |
| By nature’s design |
| I’m dyslexic |
| I’m the son of immigrants of color |
| The island of slaves were dropouts also |
| They found their way to America’s Harlem ghetto |
| They found no work inside the law, but with cunning they survived outside the |
| law |
| They made the rules, and endured |
| I’m one of the ones of color who got over |
