“…I will never sleep with my back to you…”

Back
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. Loosely based on true events, and experiences during that time, told through the eyes and voice of the main female protagonist, a freshman first attending the school.

Run them jewels fast, run them, run them jewels fast
Run them, run them, r-run them, run them, f–k the slow mo

[Killer Mike (El-P):]
Fashion slave, you protestin’ to get in a f–kin’ look book
Everything I scribble’s like The Anarchist Cookbook
(Look good, posing in a centerfold of Crook Book)
Black on black on black with a ski mask, that is my crook look
How you like my stylin’, bruh? Ain’t nobody stylin’, bruh
‘Bout to turn this mothaf–ka up like Riker’s Island, bruh
Where my thuggers and my cripples and my bloodles and my brothers?
When you n—-s gon’ unite and kill the police, mothaf–kas?
Or take over a jail, give those COs hell
The burnin’ of the sulfur, God damn I love the smell
Like it’s a pillow torchin’, where the f–k the warden?
And when you find him, we don’t kill him, we just waterboard him
We killin’ ’em for freedom cause they tortured us for boredom
And even if some good ones die, f–k it, the Lord’ll sort ’em

“Frank Ocean wrote a fantastic ballad that was truly lovely and poetic in every way, there just wasn’t a scene for it…I could have thrown it in quickly just to have it, but that’s not why he wrote it and not his intention.” ~ Quentin Tarantino on why “Wiseman was omitted from the Django Unchained soundtrack.

Wiseman closed his mouth
Madman closed his fist
Young man shows his age
Judge man named it sin
Bad man don’ exist no
No evil man exists
Good man don’t exist no
No righteous man exists
Sad man cannot cry in place where man can see
Never witnessed father weep
This old man thought it weak
But strong man don’t exist
No undying man exists
Weak man don’t exist no
Just flesh and blood exists
But your mother would be proud of you
I bet your mother would be proud of you

Yeah, gotta say what’s up to my n—a Slick Rick
For those who don’t like it, eat a d–k
But for those who with me, sing that s–t
As it go a little something like this

La Di Da Di, we likes to party
We don’t cause trouble, we don’t bother nobody
We’re, just some n—az who’re on the mic
And when we rock up on the mic we rock the mic (right)
For all my Doggs keepin y’all in health
Just to see you smile and enjoy yourself
Cuz it’s cool when ya cause a cozy conditioning
Which we create, cuz that’s our mission
So listen close, to what we say
Because this types of shit happens every-day
I woke up around 10 o’clock in the mornin
I gave myself a stretch up, a mornin yawn and
went to the bathroom to wash up
I threw some soap on my face and put my hands up on a cup
and said um “Mirror mirror, on, the wall
Who is the top Dogg of them all?”
There was a rubble dubble, five minutes it lasted
The mirror said, “You are you conceited bastard”
Well that’s true, that’s why we never have no beef
So I slipped off my khakis and my gold leaf
Used Oil of Olay, cause my skin gets pale
And then I got the file, for my fingernails
