“Knee Grow,” by Uppity
By a black man who likes to laugh.
I played lots of football, a ligament tore
An Afro-American with knee pain galore
A white doctor said, “I’ve a product for you”
But I don’t let white folks tell me what to do
He said it’s a product for people like me
They call it “Knee Grow,” by the firm, Uppity
I asked, “Will it do all the things that you say”
He said, “Yes it will, you just have to obey”

*** I'm keen to republish the interviews I did for my series with Vocal creators. It's been a few years and I thought it might be nice to revisit these wonderful conversations. I'll be releasing them one at a time for a few weeks/months.
