STREETSINGER<br>

Yeah, they say if you were in attendance that<br>

night, then you, my friend, were a witness to<br>

history. Ah, but with a touch of mystery.<br>

You see, before her final bow, Brooklyn would always sing the "unfinished lullaby"<br>

<br>

BROOKLYN<br>

La la la la, la la, la la la la,<br>

La la la...<br>

<br>

STREETSINGER<br>

...though she would never sing the words.<br>

Y'see, if you remember, only one other<br>

person knew the words and she longed to<br>

hear his voice sing them back to her. So<br>

Brooklyn would us her new found fame in<br>

America to call for her father. Ah, but fame<br>

in the land of the pilgrim's pride ain't no fairy<br>

tale. You see, a lot of people want it, few get<br>

it, and once you got it, you ain't gonna ever<br>

give it up. Oh, and people let me tell you,<br>

nobody knew that better than the Brooklyn<br>

born and bred Ms. Paradice!<br>

<br>

PARADICE<br>

Now this may come as quite a little shock to<br>

you all, but I did'nt know me Daddy either.<br>

<br>

STREETSINGER<br>

A force of nature, a natural born world<br>

shaker. Born on Mean Street right across<br>

from Ugly Road, honed on hustle, raised on<br>

riot. Educated in the Red Hook projects, got<br>

her Ph.D. in survival, and would to whatever<br>

it takes to remain America's diva of the<br>

decade. Oh, and people, let me tell you,<br>

don'tchu ever musspell her name, that's<br>

P.a.r.a...<br>

<br>

PARADICE<br>

...d.i.c.e 'cause I was born on with nothin' but a<br>

pair-a-dice around my neck. And from that<br>

pair-a-dice, I built me a paradise. And no<br>

one...<br>

<br>
