BLACK, SOPHISTICATED, STRONG, EDUCATED, PROUD, MOTIVATED

THESE ARE ALL OF THE ADJECTIVES  SAYING

WE MADE IT

EVEN WITHIN THE CIVIL RIGHTS MOVEMENT WE

NEVER MADE A STATEMENT MAKING OTHERS

NOT OUR COLOR THINKING WE COULDN'T MAKE IT

WE MEANING OUR BLACK ANCESTORS FOUGHT

IN SLAVERY, PROTEST FOR OUR RIGHTS

DIDNT BACK DOWN WITHOUT A FIGHT

GETTING RIDICULED BY THE WHITES GETTING

SPRAYED AND MASED THEY WONDERED WHEN

LORD WILL THIS GO AWAY

TAKE AWAY THE PAIN, THE HATE, MISTAKING

OUR RACE FOR A MISTAKE

OUR BODY TOOK THE BEATINGS THE SLAIN

ALL OF THE VIOLENCE WE FACED CANT BE ERASED

FROM THE MINDS GRANDMOTHERS AND GRANDFATHERS

SEEN UP CLOSE AND PERSONAL

THEY GOT STORIES WE CAN NEVER  COME UP

WITH TODAY

SEGREGATION EXISTING MAKING THOSE OF THE

PAST THE DEADLY YEARS  THEY GOT TO RELIVE

WITH EACH DAY

THE SPRAYING OF WATER AT FULL SPEED FROM

THE WHITES STANDING AT THE SIDES WITH

THAT GIGGLING LAUGH

SAYING IN THEM DAYS THEY GOT A RIGHT

WHAT A RIGHT TO BE IGNORANT! TO HURT

AND BRUISE MY PEOPLE!

NO RIGHT SHOULD BE TO DO THAT

CRYING TEAR AFTER TEAR DROP TO FLOOR DONT KNOW

HOW PEOPLE OF DIFFERENT RACE CAN BE SO CRUEL

NOT VISUALIZING IN THE BLACK MAN

SHOES HOW HE FEEL INSIDE SEEING HIS

WIFE AND BABY GIRL GETTING STRIPPED OF THEIR

PRIDE THE LAST OF IT THEY LOCKED INSIDE

THINKING IT WAS SAFE FROM THE SIDELINE

GLAD MARTIN LUTHER KING STEPPED IN

THE NICK OF TIME

TO LET US MARCH WITH OUR FEET IN SUNSHINE

I THANK ALL MY ELDERS FOR BATTLING

FOR HUNDREDS OF YEARS THE DISCRIMINATION,

THE RIGHT TO VOTE TO MAKE THE YOUNG

BLACK, HIGHLY, EDUCATED, BEAUTIFUL QUEEN PROTECTING

THE PEOPLE! MY PEOPLE! AGAINST BEING ANOTHER

STATISTIC ANOTHER NUMBER ON THE WORLD CHARTS

YOUNG BLACK MEN AND WOMEN YOUNG BOYZ

YOUNG GIRLZ

DISRESPECT THE WOMEN AND ELDERS IN YOUR FAMILY

AND REALIZE YOU ALSO DISRESPECTING YOURSELF

ALL I CAN DO NOW IS WISH YOU THE BEST OF LUCK

BECAUSE TIMES CHANGED

ALL WE CAN DO NOW IS REMAIN THE SAME AND PRAY

WE NEVER HAVE TO GO BACK AND PLAY

THAT OLD GAME

NOW  GO USE YOUR BRAIN!
