I'll be

 Quilting 

To the advancement of colored people

 

But

 That's what I did 

And in

 The cold 

And walked to the subway

 In pain 

In the winter

 Got off on Kalamazoo and 44th

And would catch the #2 bus

I was at the shelter when I was working

 At the subway 

What the fuck is wrong with yall

 Really 

You motherfuckers

 Know I can't work 

When I couldn't

 Fight for myself
