I come from along line of strong women
From picking cotton fields to pulling weeds out their own garden
From loyalty and respect to hatred and discreet
From chinky eyes and sassiness to big eyes and boldness.

I come from a long line of strong women.

From family gatherings to family disagreements.
From jump ropes to card games
From communion and confirmation to uniting and separating.

A long line of strong beautiful women
From women who had the power to hold their families together
From PHENOMENAL WOMEN , that is.
