To the tune of “TEXAS HOLD ‘EM” by Beyoncé:
This is not Texas. This is Washington’s Street Sense Media
paper. Read all about it.
This is not Texas, read all about it.
Street Sense, Street Sense, help the homeless, read all about it.
Street Sense paper. We going down, down, on the corner street. We are uptown, up up, uptown.
This is not Texas. We are in Washington, D.C. selling our
papers on the street.
My name is Rochelle Walker. I like to sing and dance when
selling my papers. I have been a poet since 2000.
This is June, hot, hot, the seasons have changed.
This is not Texas, it’s cool, cool. We are not going down, down, down on the street.
