So We Walk

So We Walk

in the spirits of the shriveled cries and suffering times of ancestors chained by the oppressors bearing the scars from our aggressors

So We Walk

in the shadows of the kings and queens who fought for dreams that we may see is beyond our means but the very first step is to fully understand is believe

So We Walk

Through the thorn encrusted paths of pain

Having insults replacing our god-given names

Mourning the legends who were slain

Masking their glories with old massa given shame

So We Walk

in strut filled strides because now is Our time to let our Shea butter baby Melanin Magic shine

With our Nefertiti’s tresses hold our crowns up high

So We Walk

Hoping maybe they realize we too come from royalty

Knowing for a fact and never maybe

That we refuse to carry the label of being talentless imprisoned coonskinned tar babies

So We Walk

For those taken from our reality

By the means of injustice and brutality

So We Walk

With hearts filled with both joy and misery

So We Walk

Bearing the souls of those that tell us to keep fighting for Our Vic

So We Walk

With our minds curious and fully open to rewriting their and creating our History

So We Walk
