(I am from) POEM - by Cheryl

I am from..... by me! Cheryl =]

I am from an old fashioned household where corny jokes and long stories are told

I am from Al Green and billie Holiday records, from watching soul train and old timers playin checkers

I am from the genres hip hop & RnB where I don't define music but music defines me

I'm from long floral scarfs tied to the front and having communion on the first church sunday of the month

I am from graffiti on the sidewalks and cracks on the concrete

I'm from late nite phone calls from my goonies planning where we should meet

I am from fried chicken,cornbread,coolaid, and collard greens

I'm from my mama tellin me girl, u better iron them jeans

When u come by you'll find cousin Nita and lil Bri Bri at the crib

That's where I'm from

That's how I live....
