I am a young girl
Born with beautiful brown eyes
With the gift of having a rich land thats all mine
With the beautiful pryamids and no gold mines
A face of a Queen

But who am I
Am I Nefertiti or Sorjouner Truth
Maya Angelou or stepped on like a stoop
I have been stripped from my culture
By these barbaric men
I am no longer the beautiful Queen I once was on my land
And yet I still stand

The shackles on my ankles and the shackles holding my hands
I hate how they pretend to be my friend
A bird whispered in my ear and told me he's an ungrateful man
And yet I still stand

I have been told you should be ashamed to be black
But yet you try and teach me about my culture and don’t give a crap
Making me feel ashamed and low
While you go home and dance in your pot of gold
And yet I still stand

I have an education but i'm constantly put under estimation
While my land is left trashed
I am forced to live and pick up the White” Mans Burden”
Watching my self burn into ashes and blown away with the wind
And yet I stand

When I come to America to find peace
There’s always something that makes me feel incomplete
You burry me in a black hole
And smile in my face with no shame
As you control the world and play me like a game
And yet I stand

She can’t come to my school ( She’s just to dark)
Are you crazy she can’t go to an Ivy League school ( she ain’t that smart)
I studied hard so my opressers will know my name
I don’t need to be a criminal to be on the news cover page
I’m going to be the person to start the new groove

When the with man kills
Anonomously their are no facts
But when the Black man kills
That Negro is getting killed back
Look at this world it’s filled with pitty
But my ancestor didn’t struggle
To become no sissy

And Yet I Am Standing Strong
