Col dropout in ‘23 He eventually died the year after ‘33 Not before using satire to make all of his claims With friends like Hughes, Du Bois, he had made a name Wallace influenced Kendrick, 2Pac, Pharoahe Monch, and more But just like me, poetry's not what Thurman's mainly known for He's known for blackberries being sweeter than juice And colorism, racism within race, being the hard, ugly truth
