tenesha the wordsmith – bastard lyrics
ain’t no place home
loose ball moving
along in time
one day i opened my eyes
and my grandmother was looking down on me
she calls me tenesha
my mama’s first gift
a mispr-nunciation of tenesha
by a girl who loved urban cl-ssical music
i ain’t been back to africa since
my hair ain’t never curled tight enough
and my skin never had that black that comes from too bright light
i am often a stranger in familiar places
i don’t look like my mama
they say i act like my daddy
it ain’t a compliment
game playing, smooth talking
colonizing the bodies of women
daddy was a lost one
beautiful, uncultivated, an uncharted mind
mama was a wanderer
i’m a baby born along the way
a problem of misdeeds
of a selfish claiming of sp-ce
daddy wasn’t a good man
i keep mispr-nouncing my own name
mama’s first gift
she romanticized africa
but my heart
is only a single country
i am often a stranger in familiar places
i find myself lost
i don’t look like my mother
they say i act like my father
ain’t no place home
