My people.
If that makes you a minority or majority.
If you abide by or challenge athority.
If your apolitical or if you follow propaganda.
If you are your own person or follow the trends of monotony.
We are here to stay.
My people.
If that makes you my african kin, or an african american.
Or a mix breed like me.
If that makes you latino or latina.
We are here to stay.
Know who you are before you try to figure out what you want to become.
For us to wake up we don't need another hurricane katrina to come.
We don't need to be pushed to step out of the box and take a look.
We must stand for each other and we didn't need the fuckups from bush...to know it.
We are here to stay and we have to know it.
We have to show it if we want them to notice.
We are not tools we are the weapons.
The gold they wore as currency we wore as clothes.
We are black gold.
We was sold and enriched everything we touched.
We are black diamonds.
Beautiful but unbreakable.
In life it's not the corners you turn..but the directions you head in.
Aim for the moon, that way if you miss you can still reach for the stars.
Keep ya heads up, and I'll see ya'll on top.
