Her nose wrinkle up cause now she got to remember to say she Mae Mobley Three, when her whole life she can remember, she been telling people she Mae Mobley Two. When you little, you only get asked two questions, what's your name and how old you is, so you better get em right.

I want to yell so loud that Baby Girl can hear me that dirty ain't a color, disease ain't the Negro side a town.

They gone take they time with em.
