Evelyn Champagne King - I Don't Know If It's Right (Extended Version) Victor/RCA Records 1977…I know that song there…I don’t know if it’s right..what I’m looking at. Life’s too serious even for a brick like me…I gotta act a fool sometimes, so
(My sister that didn’t make it..her name did end with an a -so I don’t know. People- depends on what day of the week you catch em I guess..she was getting more slack than me in the door, so that might’ve been my grandmother’s idea…)
So I was talking to this woman about a month ago
And she was saying…she thinks some of the problem was that
Most of us were always looking for
Something to be wrong now she did say “most”
(not quite the case for me) but mostly because
We didn’t want to believe anything
Especially a woman
Nature’s greatest fucking flight risk
Well that’s what makes them powerful too
As we use to say;
You stay because you want to and not because of
A legally binding paper that supposedly compels you…
Nature’s greatest fucking flight risk
Could be that consistent…
Hmpf *waving my kinda big hands around
in a state of confusion;
That was some kind of insight.
