Party people in the place to be
From the same man who brought you Da B—ez
(Da B—ez Da B—ez Da B—ez)
We were misunderstood last time we brought you
Ba B—ez (Da B—ez Da B—ez)
Now we gonna clear it up and let you make up your own mind
like this…

Now a queen’s a queen and a w—e is a w—e
She felt if she made me wait I’d have more respect for her
Adore her eventually spendin up my digits
She felt that love would make me buy her mad material s–t
She likes to trick em, cause ain’t nothin like a sleepin victim
East New York style stick em — ha ha ha, stick em
Top rated game, but if it’s game I played it
Underestimated, swore the king was checkmated
She claims she loves my mind, cause I’m so intelligent
But f–k my mental, she was scheming on my mint
Evil inten-tion, to de-plenish the fund
She tried to juice me with the p—y cept for, the mask and gun
I was a fool to fall in lust with this evil ge-nius
She had me by the nuts
She ain’t got s–t but man she loves it plush
Whippin I whip, and suckin up I canibus
Back in the days, I woulda scraped her for this caper
But I realize, it wasn’t me it was the paper

Hattie McDaniel (June 10, 1895 – October 26, 1952) was the first Black actress to win an Academy Award. She won the award for Best Supporting Actress for her role of Mammy in Gone with the Wind (1939).

In addition to having acted in many films, McDaniel was a professional singer-songwriter, comedian, stage actress, radio performer, and television star. Hattie McDaniel was in fact the first black woman to sing on the radio in America. Over the course of her career, McDaniel appeared in over 300 films, although she received screen credits for only about 80. She gained the respect of the Black show business community with her generosity, elegance, and charm.

Blue Lines Blog: This Day In American History – Maria Steward First American-born woman to give public lectures (1883)

Steward, Massachusetts, This Day In American History

On this day in 1833, Maria W. Steward delivered one of the four speeches which confirmed her place in history as the first American-born woman to give public lectures. Stewards lectures focused on encouraging African-Americans to attain education, political rights, and public recognition for their achievements. Her speech on thi day delivered at the African Masonic Hall in Boston, Massachusetts, was titled “On African Rights and Liberty.” Sixty-seven years later in Boston on this same day, African-American teacher and poet Angelina Weld Grimke was born. Grimke was a descendant of the famous white abolitionist and feminist sisters Angelina and Sarah Grimke.

Maria Stewart (Maria Miller) (1803 – December 17, 1879) was an African American essayist, public speaker, abolitionist, and women’s rights activist.

She was born Maria Miller, the child of free black parents in Hartford, Connecticut, in 1803. At the age of five she became an orphan and was sent to live with a minister and his family. Until she was fifteen, Maria was a servant in the home where she resided and was deprived of an education. When Maria turned twenty, her life took a turn for the better. Maria began to attend Sabbath School, where she learned new and exciting things. During her early adulthood, while attending school, Maria worked as a domestic servant for a living.
Stewart was the first black woman to lecture about women’s rights — particularly the rights of black women — religion, and social justice among black people. She was influenced by David Walker, a prosperous clothing shop owner, who was a well known, outspoken member of the General Colored Association. Walker was known as a leader within the African-American enclave of Boston, who wrote a very controversial piece on race relations called David Walker’s Appeal to the Coloured Citizens of the World. (1829).

The manuscript Blue Lines is the fictional coming of age narrative of a young California woman Key Yemaya Walker, and her 2 year growing journey through school, love, and life period piece, written by Kenneth Suffern, Jr., taking place at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill between the years of 1997 – 1998.
