Ta-Nehisi Coates Quotes
I Saw It In The Girls, In Their Loud Laughter, In Their Gilded Bamboo Earrings That Announced Their Names Thrice Over. And I Saw It In Their Brutal Language And Hard Gaze, How They Would Cut You With Their Eyes And Destroy You With Their Words For The Sin Of Playing Too Much. "Keep My Name Out Your Mouth," They Would Say. I Would Watch Them After School, How They Squared Off Like Boxers, Vaselined Up, Earrings Off, Reeboks On, And Leaped At Each Other.
