I’m Rooting for Scarborough
AN ADAPTATION OF COURTNEY LAMAR CHARLESTON’S I’M ROOTING FOR EVERYBODY BLACK*
Scarborough is my hometown team. Scarborough
dropped the hottest album of the year, easy. Scarborough
is in this show, so I’m watching. Scarborough is in this movie,
so I’m watching. Scarborough wore it better, tell the truth.
Scarborough’s new book was beautiful. How you don’t
know about Scarborough?! Scarborough mad
underrated. Scarborough remind me of someone I know.
I love seeing Scarborough succeed. I hope Scarborough
get elected. Scarborough deserves the promotion more than
anybody. I want Scarborough to find somebody special.
Scarborough is good peoples. Scarborough been through
some things. Scarborough don’t get the credit they’re due. I met
Scarborough once and they were super chill and down-to-earth.
I believe in Scarborough. There’s something about Scarborough.
*Elizabeth loves this poem and realized way back in March 2019 that the poem still rings true with “Scarborough” subbed in for the line “Everybody Black”. This is not meant as erasure. Please read both versions.
