Anika Noni Rose - Kitchen Fight Lyrics

[DOTTY, spoken]
She was doing fine out there, Caroline

CAROLINE, spoken}
This ain't none of your affair, Dot
[You can't talk to folk like that

[EMMIE]
Talk to white folk, what you mean

[CAROLINE, spoken]
Lord, I raised a spoiled brat
They're your boss, you ain't a queen
You gonna get yourself knocked flat
You mouth off around white folk like that

[EMMIE]
You tippy-toe
'Til you've been paid
You the spoiled one
A maid
I'll never be a queen, that's true
But I'm a damn sight
Better and prouder than you
Come on, teach me what you know
Mama, teach me what you know
How to keep my head tucked low
Come on, come on
Teach me what you know
Mama, teach—
[CAROLINE slaps EMMIE, then grabs her coat and leaves the house.]

[DOTTY, spoken]
Watch your mouth, now, little sister
You too smart to act a fool
Proud don't talk trash to her mother

[EMMIE, spoken]
You got plans, you go to school
What's she got?
Only angry, always fussin', always shushin' me

[DOTTY]
Ain't seen you lackin' food to eat
Roof above, shoes on your feet
You watch your pride ain't just conceit
Think being a maid what she prefer?

[MR. STOPNICK, spoken]
Attention, Noah
Now comes your gift!
Something handy

{DOTTY]
Go make things like they were
Apologize to her
