lyrics

OOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Sweet Rochelle

Pretty Rochelle
Ghetto mullatto,
From Alsip Colorado

One day she asked her mother
about her long-lost father

How does it feel Rochelle,
To have yo bauble busted?

How does it feel Rochelle
To mistrust all those, you called
Yo’friends ?

Rochelle,
Pretty Rochelle
Sweet Rochelle
Ro…

How does it feel Rochelle,
to have had the world
In the palm of your hands?
How does it feel Rochelle
To loose control?

How does it feel Rosie?
(tell me, tell me)

To know,
How does it feel Rochelle
To be, just another BLACK GURL
A Black gurl
A black gurl
A black gurl
A black gurl

How does it feel Rosie
to hate, yo white mama?
How does it feel Rosie, Rosie
To hate, you white daddy?

How does it feel Rosie, Rosie, Rosie,
To know?
How does it feel Rochelle, to be
Just another

BLACK GURL
A Black gurl
A black gurl
A black gurl
A black gurl

How does it feel Rosie,
to have Miracle Whip,
Instead of Helman’s?
How does it feel Rosie, Rosie Rosie
always waiting to get
your groove back?
How does it feel Rochelle,
to go UIC instead of the U of C?
How does it feel Rosie,
to eat Kellogg’s Cornflakes,
Instead of fuckin’Captain Crunch?

Ro, sweet Rochelle
Freaky Rochelle, Freaky Rochelle,
Ro, sweet Rochelle

Marvin Tate's D-Settlement Chicago, Illinois

D-Settlement were Chicago’s best-kept secret: a trailblazing, diverse band mixing R&B, soul, punk, gospel and funk with biting wit and political commentary. Led by Marvin Tate — a poet, artist, playwright and raconteur who wore pipe cleaners in his hair — and supported by a large, dynamic cast of characters, their music was both of and ahead of its time. ... more
