My Wants
Slave Literature - My Wants
Go back
What do I want in my life?
I want a lot of more kinda thangs
Them is me them thangs is all me
"Shoo" I eben wanta brand new pair shoes with flowers on them from masters garden
His garden make me feel rich
Then I'll be able to go store at white man Jerry pick up some apples for masta
I like to go school at home
I spell good
I kinda read good
And I know I can talk well cuz masta says so
Think I might be a dancer
Is I'm the kina girl do that
"Might b"- thank so tho
White man say don't come in they area that's scrimination
That's scrimination
I run when the white man come
He make me scared, scared to breath the wrong way
"shoo" when I'm home
I practice my school works
I learn from under the windows at the school
Pah can't afford 35 cent a day, so we just learn what we can
Fixing to get me a book, If they ever drop one them
Our family be rich forever
Knows all my math problems
Learnt that counting masta money
Even know how to tract it
Just thanking bout my life
Wondering how it's gone be
Just some of my do's and thangs
Just some of my wants
