@nylavery Slow Poke is a 50s song; maybe even 40s or Roaring Twenties. And to not be a gutterhead, Poke is Pinocchio, to me; ain't nobody's bizznezz butt my own.
@nylavery The calling the coppa line is based on the fact that in them times calling the cops was something you just didnt do, and even if a women did call the cop it was pointless as black women had no rights.
Reading the Color Purple will be a great way to understand the song. Hope i helped. :)
This is a great tune. Thanks so much.
