Harriet Tubman
Harriet Tubman didn't take no stuff
Wasn't scared of nothing neither
Didn't come in this world to be no slave
And wasn't going to stay one either
"Farewell!" she sang to her friends one night
She was mighty sad to leave 'em
But she ran away that dark, hot night
She ran to the woods and she ran through the woods
Ran looking for her freedom
With the slave catchers right behind her
And she kept on going till she got to the North
Nineteen times she went back South
Where those mean men couldn't find her
To get three hundred others
She ran for her freedom nineteen times
To save Black sisters and brothers
Harriet Tubman didn't take no stuff
Wasn't scared of nothing neither
Didn't come in this world to be no slave

And didn't stay one either

Oh, Harriet Tubman was a way out chick,
leading slaves to the north at night.
She knew all the places, knew every trick,
to keep them safe outta sight.
The Underground Railroad was her thing,
she knew every stop by heart.
She led all those families to let freedom ring,
so they would never have to be apart.
How's that? I made it up!!
Here's another:
Harriet Tubman would smack a fool.
She'd make them all cry.
She'd make them all drool.
Harriet Tubman didn't wear no bling.
She never wore grills.
"Drinking Gourd" she did sing.
Harriet Tubman couldn't stand a pimp.
She would hate a playa.
She would make them a gimp.
Harriet Tubman knew she was doing what's right.
When she led people north,
in the dark of the night.
There ya go!!

Harriet Tubman
Was no Lizzie Grubman
And if you were hungry,
She could make a mean sub, man.

Ms. Tubman had a sister named Moenesha. Moenesha had a cousin named Milko Magnesia. Her grandmother was Mrs. Butterworth, and her sister was Aunt Jemima.
