Because you're my son


Because I love you

my young black king

I will stop the bullets from hitting you

I will be the key to unlock your jail cell

I will give you the education you seek

I will wipe your tears away

I will make a home where you will be loved

I will make sure you grow up to be a strong man 

I will pull you out of poverty.

I will set you free. 

For I am your mother, who loves you 

And because I love you,

I will be your superwoman.
