I am a Black woman
Hear me when I say
Nothing …nothing… nothing in me
has ever regretted being born this way
why would I when I am mother
why would I when I am queen
why would I when from my womb
came the beginning of everything
i am entrusted with the ears of kings
and the prince is trained at my hand
my love, my care, my warmth, my strength
my pride upholds the Black Man
oh yes… the Black man is my promise
his vision is mine to carry
and I will praise, promote and protect the Black man
by any means necessary
