A Strange Loop (Original Cast Recording)
Tyler Perry Writes Real Life
I know it's been months since we last spoke
And I have no idea if this is of any interest to you, or
If you have any materials to send
But
We just got a call for submissions for something very exciting
Especially for you!
Oh yeah? What is it?
Tyler Perry
Tyler Perry
Tyler Perry
Oh no!
Tyler Perry
Tyler Perry
Tyler Perry
Hell no
It seems he's gotten so busy with film and TV
That his team is looking to farm out the gospel plays
To a ghost writer!
It'll be a scream!
And didn't you once tell me that your mother
Would love nothing more than for you to write one?
So how 'bout it, Ush?
Just write a sassy matriarch
A lonely spinster who loves God
Throw in a few "Color Purple" quotes
What do you say?
Thank you for the opportunity (Of course! Of course)
But Tyler would be none too fond of me
(Don't sell yourself short)
The crap he puts on stage, film and TV
Makes my bile want to rise (I know, I know, your integrity)
Nothing that he writes is real TV (Yes, you think he sucks)
Just simple-minded hack buffoonery (But, no theaters will touch you)
If I try to match his coonery
He'd see through my disguise
It's true, I'm still emerging
Looking to make my start
But not so hungry that I'd ride the Chitlin' Circuit
I'm into entertainment
That's under "cover art"
My mission is to figure out just how to work it
Today
Today I plan to change this scene for the better
Hello?
Agent Fairweather? Are you there?
Race traitor! (Race traitor!) Race traitor!
Race traitor? Who's there?
I'm Harriet Motherfucking Tubman, and I got a problem with you!
I'm Carter G. Motherfucking Woodson
And I got a problem with you too!
Jimmy Baldwin!
Zora Neale Hurston!
Twelve Years a Slave here
Whitney
What do you want with me?!
To get you together!
Makin' me get my Black ass up out of my twenty-dollar grave
To put your Black ass on blast!
Talkin' bad about Tyler Perry!
Who the fuck is you, n*gga?
You look it, but you ain't no true n*gga
You make us ancestors blue
Acting brand-new
N*gga, I can't with you
Tyler is a real n*gga
And not a cracker-pleasing seal n*gga
He writes how our people feel
With him at the wheel
N*gga, what can't we do?
'Cause Tyler Perry writes real life
Tyler Perry writes real life
He writes stories we can swallow like Popeyes chicken and biscuits
He writes stories we can follow
Like we follow the drinking gourd
He writes stories 'bout fat Black women with weaves
Finding love and redemption
With muscle-bound Black men who own their own business
And truly love the Lord
And truly love the Lord
So if you won't follow through, n*gga
I'll SMDH at you, n*gga
'Cause
I'm just a somebody
Trying to tell everybody
That you ain't nobody, n*gga
So
Get off the stage
And let Tyler Perry write real life
'Cause Tyler Perry writes real life (Yeah)
And I have no idea if this is of any interest to you, or
If you have any materials to send
But
We just got a call for submissions for something very exciting
