an so i sat there in the study hall , watchin the movie an gripping loopeys hand till my nails dug into her palm , tears wantin to come to my eyes cuz it was my people , jus like stevie 's , scarce a couple years out of having them terrbell things done to us , but that we turn around and do the same thing to loopeys people , like we dint learn nothin from our trials n tribulashuns cept to do it to somebody else quick afore they get a chance to do it to us .
