When you were pushed into this world,
.tuo dellup I
When y’all tried to pull me out of the hood,
.sgurd dehsup I
When you asked me to push you on this swing,
Big Push’s car pulled up in our curb.
When Big Push pointed his gun at you,
.reggirt taht dellup I.
When Big Push dropped dead on our porch,
they pushed me into that dark, damp cell.
When I pushed myself back up,
.yawa dellup lla‘y.
y’all pushed me away.
Did I
hguorht llup ylno
to push
llup dna
an empty swing?
