Waking up to Folgers in my cup
Reading written words from my brothers
Knowing that they still exist behind pen and paper
Gives me hope for a better tomorrow
Voices like Malcom
Leadership like Frederick
Hearts like Martin
Inspiring like Medgar Evans
Sense of humor like Mr. Gregory
Sam Cook said “a change is gonna comeâ€
Langston said “hold fast to our dreams “
Marcus said “with confidence we already won “
Stokely said “we ain’t running no moreâ€
Keep writing kings of the Most High
Never stop expressing who you are
And where you come from
Nothing but love
