Two Of A Kind
O, Mama and Maybelle,
Two of a kind with an important story to tell.
Hailing from the South with so much to say,
You stood on stages, both near and far, delivering your messages with great interplay.
Amidst much darkness, pain, and inequality,
You allowed your light to shine radiantly.
Nothing you did was ever small; everything was beautiful and big.
Big energy, big stages, big lights, and big voices—yah dig?
Soulful melodies erupted from you two like lava from volcanoes.
Every time you took the mic, you left behind rumbling harmonic echoes.
O, Mama and Maybelle,
Two of a kind that did it so well.
