It be like that

Sometimes sleep play hard

To get- it be like watch

sunsets and sunrises

I have the strength

I have the black strength
That came from my ancestors
That runs through my blood

I don’t need guilt
To save me
To save the world

I have the black strength
That came from my ancestors
That runs through my blood

You want proof,

evidence of the value of

Our lives

While still denying

What is right in front of you

Endless bloodshed

Based on fear.

While ignorance, blindness and silence

That we can never afford

To have

Takes

Our lives
