[00:37.84]Can I really write this
[00:40.77]How many minutes till the end of intermission
[00:43.26]Is that how the show should open
[00:44.73]Should there even be a show
[00:45.98]It should start with what he's thinking
[00:47.32]Which is just a cursor blinking
[00:48.84]'Cause of all of the directions
[00:50.26]That the narrative could go
[00:51.77]He wants to show what it's like to live up here usher
[00:57.65]And travel the world in a fat black queer body
[01:03.25]How many minutes till the
[01:04.71]End of intermission
[01:05.66]No one cares about a writer who is struggling to write
[01:08.43]The story's way too repetitious
[01:09.80]Also overly ambitious
[01:11.25]Which of course makes them suspicious
[01:12.58]That you think you're ******* white
[01:14.06]He has to fight for his right usher
[01:16.38]To live in a world that chews up
[01:20.26]And spits out
[01:21.67]Black queers on the daily
[01:25.68]Blackness queerness
[01:26.97]Fighting back to fill this cis-het all-white space
[01:30.64]With a portrait of a portrait
[01:33.19]Of a portrait of a black queer face
[01:36.40]And a choir full of black queer voices
[01:39.51]Treble clef and also bass
[01:42.07]That are casting spells to conjure up a
[01:45.18]Big black and queer-a*s American broadway
[01:48.03]Big black and queer-a*s American broadway
[01:50.82]Big black and queer-a*s American broadway show
[02:17.30]How many minutes till the end of intermission
[02:19.67]Till he has to face the
[02:20.76]Fact that he is really in a jam
[02:22.49]He has no patrons he can call on
[02:23.87]Nor a backup plan to fall on
[02:25.21]Just a hamster wheel to crawl on
[02:26.76]And nobody gives a damn
[02:28.20]He tries to scramble and dodge and extricate
[02:32.92]Still his fate lies in wait
[02:35.70]Like a scavenging vulture
[02:38.68]All he wants is to subvert expectations
[02:42.37]Black and white
[02:44.30]From the left and the right
[02:47.04]For the good of the culture

[02:54.09]Usher usher
[02:55.47]Usher usher
[02:56.69]How many minutes till the end of intermission
[02:59.18]You're a ball of black confusion
[03:00.50]That keeps hitting a plateau
[03:02.08]You can't just flout every convention
[03:03.45]Then command complete attention
[03:04.89]Then a
[03:05.22]Big black and queer-a*s American broadway show
[03:08.06]How many minutes 'til the end of intermission
[03:10.67]Some say write from exploration
[03:12.02]Some say just write what you know
[03:13.65]Either way you keep careening
[03:15.06]So it's hard to find a meaning
[03:16.45]In your
[03:16.83]Big black and queer-a*s American broadway show
[03:19.88]How many minutes 'til the end of intermission
[03:22.27]If you can't please the caucasians
[03:23.65]You will never get the dough
[03:25.14]'Cause critics clinically deny us
[03:26.58]Then deny implicit bias
[03:28.10]With their vanity supported
[03:29.41]By a system that's distorted
[03:31.01]Watch them write you off as lazy
[03:32.34]Not to mention navel-gazey
[03:33.79]Lacking both in craft and rigor
[03:35.22]'Cause you're just a ******* nig
