This song was written while Sidney was attending the five-week program at Berklee College of Music. She didn’t fill out the housing form so she had to stay in a hostel, where a statue of Harriet Tubman watched over her.
Harriet Tubman looks at me
Says "Take a right on Newton Street"
Go past the plot that Sparrow Park is built in
Past Prudential Center and the Hilton
And Dunkin is the first thing that you’ll see"
Thank you, Tubman, for your time
Your contribution to this rhyme
You’re still a generous woman after death
You give me great advice without a single breath
Who cares about street names
When Harriet, you always stay the same
Harriet Tubman looks at me
Says do things on whatever street
She’s vague and now I’m lost in a new city
It’s hot as hell and I have no AC, you see
I found out some directions in a pharmacy
I just wish that Harriet Tubman had been there with me
She’s not my only friend yet but I’ve got like 3 and it wouldn’t hurt
Miss Tubman's just a statue
And i am oversaturating my experience so far
I’m carrying a backpack and a small guitar
So just give me a break
So Harriet's my muse
I promise you I’m not insane
I’m not insane
Harriet Tubman
