America the great, how funny that seems

the fight of my ancestors

being destroyed by the ignorance of the present.

according to the america slavery ended

according to white america racsim does not exsist

To this day brothers and sisters

being ridiculed for voicing their opinions

being reidculed for wanting to receive an education

being ridiculed for being black

What inspires me? Even though you dont ask

because my hair is nappy and my skin is black.

The unspoken promise of my destiny.

My past allowing me to learn

I will encounter in the future.

my culture, and my faith inspire me,

and I refuse to let the fight of my ancestors continue to diminish.
