I'm so addicted to her passion, to her spirit, to her style of writing, to her real, to her dopeness, to her raw attitude and black girl magic. She's amazing so so amazing
fucking same
I'm saying!!! I love it
I'm enraptured by her brilliance. She speaks absolute capital-T "Truth."
She is the light and the a vessel through her word of truth. How she runs through your mind and make you think! Dope writer, realist, most important her story is felt !
ShamelessBroadway thought its he or transgender
“I’m working overtime to make sure that the hungry never get fed.” Such a powerful line
It sent chills down my spine
Hauntingly relevant even today, in 2023. More so, possibly.
SHE IS LITERALLY EVERHTING! SHE IS HONESTLY ONE OF THE GREATEST !!!
Follow the art, not the artist.
This comment is giving me “Like, Totallyyyy” vibes
This girl slaps America over and over and over in the face and I LOVE IT!
Javell H USA not America
Because USA is the Worst.
Okkkkkkk
Lol I don't think anyone with an IQ over a 100 could give a minute bit of care for the ramblings of an insane person. You are looked down on by nearly 100% of society. But keep it up. You're a great laugh.

"I'm the pimp, who built.. this.. shit-" absolutely floored holy FUCK
