Go to sleep, you little baby Go to sleep, you little baby

You're a sweet little baby You're a sweet little baby
Honey in the rock and the sugar don't stop Gonna bring a bottle to the baby
Don't you eat pretty baby Don't you eat pretty baby
What in the hell?
I'm sorry I woke you up. I heard something that gave me the heebie jeebies.
The hell was that thing anyway? A blower? It looks like a mirror.
Of course I know what a phone is, and I have never seen a phone like that in my life.
Wait, what year is it? 2021?
So it's been that long, huh?
Wow.
Oh, it's nothing. I've just been isolating myself from humanity for over a hundred years.
Hm? You look shocked. I mean, I am the daughter of a siren and a succubus.
We tend to have a long lifespan.
Hell, I'm actually pretty young.
Hm, what a gentleman. I'm a hundred and eleven. There, you happy?
No, I'm not hungry.
Hell, you fed me enough to where I'll be full for a while.
No, it's just, I can't believe on how much I've missed out on.
Eighty years of music? That and how many mortal plugs of mine are dead?
Look, I left land for a good reason. People like me...
Oh, what's this up there?
You know what I mean by people like me. Negros.
Oh, don't act all surprised. I know you haven't been along for as long as I have, but back in the day, things were terrible for us.
When I was a little girl, just starting to talk and get used to my legs, my folks decided it was time for me to live amongst humans.
So they bought a house in a small town by the ocean.
I had made plenty of friends, even without my powers of attraction.
I thought I fit in perfectly, and that I may be in a place where I belonged.
It started small. White folks staring. Mothers not wanting their kids to play with me.
Then being called terrible things. Being made fun of for my skin and my hair.
And eventually getting sticks and rocks thrown at me by youngins and their folks.
I explained everything to mama, and she tried to teach me how to change my parents.
I could change my facial features and my hair, but unfortunately not my skin.
I had inherited my papa's traits to keep us protected from my son.
So I learned to protect myself, and tried not to let what people said get to me.
Until I was twenty. I had just got a job as a canary for a speakeasy, and I had folks wrapped around my finger.
I was living my dream. Calling in people with my siren song, and getting love and adoration from amazing fans.
Even had lounge lizards and kittens to pleasure me every night. But it didn't last.
One night when I was getting ready to go on stage for one of my biggest performances yet, everyone heard a blood curdling scream.
Flames from outside. We all ran outside as fast as we could, but it was too late.
Some white folks found out about the owners legally selling hooch.
I guess they decided to take the law into their own hands, and they lynched them and set fire to the tree.
We all ran away as fast as we could.
Some of us were caught and taken to jail, but I was lucky enough and wasn't caught.
As soon as I got home, I told my folks what happened, and we went back to the sea.
It's almost been eighty years, and I still remember it like it was yesterday.
If there's one thing I've learned, is that humans, they will never change.
I thought I was supposed to be the monster, but there even worse.
I'm sorry. I didn't mean to get all riled up.
What? How? How has anything gotten better?
What are you showing me?
What?
This is real?
I like it.
Black Lives Matter! Black Lives Matter!
No, I'm not sad. This is amazing!
I never thought I'd live to see something like this.
Oh, thank you. Thank you so much.
I'm so sorry. I guess I'm just excited to go on land again.
Well, it may take a few days for me to grow my gams back.
I haven't used magic in ye-
I guess you got a bit excited too.
You're getting hot. Did seeing me happy excite you?
That feels nice. Oh, keep going.
Keep going, please.
Good God, you're really good at that.
Why'd you stop?
Of course I have a vagina in this form.
It's right down here.
See? It stays hidden behind my scales until I'm aroused.
It's been so long since I've been touched down there.
Goodness.
Close. Here I come.
No, please don't stop.
Well, I haven't done it in my siren form before.
I thought you would be put off.
You think my tail's sexy?
Okay.
I wanted you inside me already.
I just wanted to make sure you were comfortable.
Stop moving, please.
Goodness.
You're so deep inside of me.
It's been so long since I've felt like this.
Yes.
Fuck. Faster.
Please.
I can take it, honey.
Please.
Fuck.
Yes. Don't stop.
Fuck. It's so good.
Yes.
You're gonna come?
No. Don't pull out. Come inside me.
Yes. I'm close to. Let's come together.
Yes.
That was the bee's knees.
I haven't felt like this in so long.
Well, I should be able to grow back my legs in a day or two.
It would have been faster, but it's been almost a century since I've used my magic, so it's gonna be longer than usual.
Normally I could just snap my fingers and they'd be ready.
Well, we can worry about that then.
For now, let's just relax.
For now, let's just listen to the waves and relax.
Thank you so much for helping me.
Well, showing me that things can get better and people can change.
