![]() Mama, I seen you, ever since I was a little kid, getting up in the middle of the night to take the subway to ride for two hours to go to their house, to do their cooking and to do their ironing and do their cleaning and wash the sh*t out of their toilet. We don't have to run around shining his shoes and driving his cars and cleaning his floors and being his ma. Thanking him for his chicken-sh*t pay and chicken-sh*t jobs. ![]() We don't have to live off what the white man throws our way. Mama, we don't have to slaves to the white establishment anymore. Like, there's education like there never was before. Well, whatever troubles you got here are going right with you and that suitcase. Get out! Nobody ever understood Sister except me! Don't you ever, ever, use her name again! Get out of here! GET OUT! But what happened to Sister happened to Sister, not to you. What have I got to sing about? Sticks, what have I got to sing about? Business! BUSINESS!Īnd it's no truer than it is now. You know, you were always so good at business, Stix. Why you think I been so busy since I been back? Got me a job at the record company, lined up all my old contacts. Sparkle, no matter what you think of me, I came back because I want you to sing. Can you imagine a person so unhappy? To not know if they'd live through another second? I got through the second, Stix. Yeah, I used to sit in this room and wondered if I would ever get through another second. Give you a chance? Wanna know something funny? When you first left, I wasn't sure if I'd be able to live without you. But unless you talk about it, you know, just give me a chance. Look, Sparkle, we got a lot to talk about. True friends are like diamonds bright, beautiful, valuable, and always in style. The only carrots that interest me are the number you get in a diamond. ![]() Since when did you know how anybody feels? About anything except yourself, Mr. It’s hard to be a diamond in a rhinestone world. One brain in this room thinking for two people. Didn't you know? This family's fresh out.Ī few days ago, my grams been real sick.Ī few days ago.
