Think Like They Book Say - Saul Williams

Met this girl on Friday night

Rocky Horror Picture night

Cuban stoagie

Karaoke

Purple satin bra & tights

That’s what I was wearing

She was wearing red and purple light

White smoke had high hopes

Keith Harin’s straight ghost

Flowed past

In topaz

We brushed hands.

I took a note:

James Baldwin once wrote:

«Love is not remote»

Girl, boy, we seek joy

We hurt none, we heart hope

Girl, boy, we seek joy

We hurt none, we heart hope

Girl, boy, we seek joy

We hurt none, we heart hope

Girl, boy, girl, girl, boy, girl, girl, boy, girl, girl, boy, girl

Girl, boy, girl, girl, boy, girl, girl, boy, girl, girl, boy, girl

Girl, boy, girl, girl, boy, girl, girl, boy, girl, girl, boy, girl

Girl, boy, we seek joy

We hurt none, we heart hope

Hope hollow as fear they say

Ça c’est pas ecrit they say

Tudo mundo nesse mundo

Pense comme il veut they say

Think black them think gay

Think like they book say

Think like, they think like

They think like they book say

They cannot imagine if they do not see it in a book

Even when they see it it’s their book that tell them how to look

Think white them think straight

Think like they book say

Think like, they think like

They think like they book say

Met a girl on Friday and I did not see her in no book

Ain’t no Vogue or Cosmo that can tell me how she supposed to look

She was once a he, was once a argument against the book

Mommy and her daddy loved her she became the form the took

Think like they book say

They think like they book say

They think like, they think like, they think like

They book say

Think like they book say

They think like they book say

They think like, they think like, they think like

They book say

Truth is not a theory that can be imprisoned in any book

Word are sometimes.

Prison sometimes prisms from the way you look

Think like they book say

Think like they book say

Think like, they think like, they think like they book say

Girl, boy, girl, girl, boy, girl, girl, boy, girl, girl, boy, girl

Girl, boy, girl, girl, boy, girl, girl, boy, girl, girl, boy, girl

Girl, boy, girl, girl, boy, girl, girl, boy, girl, girl, boy, girl

Girl, boy, girl, girl, boy, girl, girl, boy, girl, girl, boy, girl
