It's inevitable that we grow,
and my have we grown
from four million
landing on quenched shores
of Atlantic ocean colonies,
to 40 million strong,
ever armed with dignity.
We are the leaders, the force to foe,
seeking our right place in line, finally.
But fear not, though lessons taught,
we ignore the natural desire for revenge;
deciding instead, to focus on a higher goal;
to empower rather than to control, but still know
ALL ignorance has been convicted. We've risen
to take our rightful place.
Yet our prophetic will
is not that of those
who impose on us a meek stance
but no grand standing is necessary,
for we carry in our hearts
a nurturing spirit, and a voice
calling to All to share in it.
Who will hear let them give ear,
we still demand rights
truly ours from birth on this Earth...
Denied for far too long
yet, still standing strong we ascend
to levels, the devil can't climb to;
in a world so corrupt,
they can't recognize truth.
Shh... watch and listen closely.
We're here to teach you
what integrity looks like
in its purest form.
Not to conform,
willing to storm
beyond the norm,
for we are warriors
with a greater history
than most want to boast.
That is why we spit fluently, educated,
closely related to ancestral
Kings & Queens, with all the gifts
that a blessed generation brings.
