Fashion!


Wam, bam, this WORLD is ours

They told us we couldn't do but they were liars

To express ourselves through jewelry and clothes

To finally be able to take a load off and be oneself

We told them we'd do it but they were deaf

For all of our years, we wanted nothing more than to be free

Be free to be us, be free to be me

Designers EVERYWHERE

That are willing to share...

Such beautiful creations

even more beautiful because I'm Haitian

And I have been criticized

So much criticism, it will blow your mind

A world of hate

...but fashion, fashion designing is OUR fate.
