Define a lyric: Shoo Be Doo

The answer to the question of life is a grey haired bitch at least. Sucking on the ebony dancer in between these dirty sheets. Spitting out the aftertaste of a boy who might not call again. If this is the game you stood in line for, how you gonna win?

I can make sense of everything but the first sentence. It doesn't fit in context with the rest of the line.

I think it is a prediction of how one's life might turn out if you keep going down the same road. It suggests that if this woman doesn't clean up her act, she will end up old and grey haired still doing the same things and getting nowhere. That will ultimately be her fate or the answer to the question of her life.
I'm an org elitist... totally unapproachable.

that's pretty much what I got from that part of the song too...but what does "sucking on the ebony dancer in between these dirty sheets" mean?

The song says, Shoo bed Ohh
Meaning everything done in their bed was dirty cause it was sinful...
