| I'm a mountain High Solid Go Around Because you can't move me I'm the soil Growing Seeds Pyramids on my belly Bringing forth life I'm the Nile Joining Nations Running Deep Sometimes Silent A path Her Story My History Black Mans History Yes! Yes! Like the Nile Travelling, Travelling Pushing, Pulling Touching shores Making ripples Ripples making waves Rolling, rolling For us the destiny of nations The history of mankind I am the stories told For generations Because her story can never NEVER Be erased Hapshepsut, Neffertitti, Candace, Yaa Asantewa Claudia Jones, Nahnnihi, Nzinga, Winnie Mandela and YOU! Because her story Our history can never Never Be erased And when giving Unconditonal love Means receiving Unconditonal love When my brothers help me when I stumble Not walk over me when I fall We will have come together To challenge Babylonian system And I will have ceased to be a number On a file A statistic Ethnic And as my partner sees me for what I am Friends will say I have changed Thats because they can see how like The river Nile I am Running deep Sometimes Silent Always fighting for my rights My justice Then they will know And I can truly say I am a woman A woman determined DETERMINED To help in this fight To free her peoples Wherever they may be SIHSTAH NETIFA borrowed with much respect ....just me...daez |
