Do Not Stop


Black child, do no stop

When they criticize your rich melanin 

Black child, do not stop

When they say "you can't do it" or "just give up"

Black child, do not stop

 "Hands up, dont shoot" black lives matter

Our people's name has been squandered

We are underestimated for the power we truly have

They do not think we can prosper and claim our throne

So,

my Kings and Queens

Prince and Princesses,

Pick up your crown,

And please

Black child, 

Do Not Stop
