Black Power
Malcolm X said Our history did not begin in chains. They bound us for centuries cuz they want to destroy us. They tryna take everything from us. They separate our families, but not our bond. They aint giving us books cus they scared we bite back. Well our ancestors payed the price for biting back so we can get books to educate and win. We live through them. Cast down your bucket, Booker T. Washington once said. Aint keepin buckets no mo. We chasin our dreams. See, we never hungry. Our existence is our weapon that white folks mad like a hurricane. Our ancestors’ stubborn minds is why we see HBCUs today. We got hot sauce in our bags to spice up our words. We drop our mics when we say Black Lives Matter cuz we aint lettin yall play wit our lives like that. Don’t u see we tired? Zora Neale Hurston was wise when she wrote God be watching you. James Weldon Johnson wanna us lift every voice and sing the loudest like a marching band. Let’s get in formation and pay attention like Beyonce said.
