it was gee up
the hairdresser an actor
working in a mainly black boutique
that was the other key factor
now a fine looking black man
enters the store
and its quite busy
the shops no bore
there are ladies present
and even kids
but she didnt hold back
or hit the skids
she was playing the charm
on the good looking dude
when in walks his girlfriend
she begins to be rude
for his girlfriend is
a lovely shade of white
the hairdresser cant believe
things aren't right
her lips are loose
as she rambles on
about black and white
whats right and wrong
now about this time
a lady nearby
a beautiful black woman
with an exhausted sigh
breaks her silence
and tells the hairdresser straight
where you coming from
you have no reason to berate
this lovely white girl
is a woman to her mate
and the words you've been speaking
i just can't relate
so when the set up is exposed
and the film crew come out
the lady nearby says
its the Brooklyn in me
Thats what i am about .......
