Everything's AWESOME keep it goin'!

 

In the words of Queen B and Nicki,

"I'm Feelin' myself," but that's okay because Everything is AWESOME!

Now let me make myself clear, this is very important, Listen Closely...

 

Sun and Moon, Dark and Light, Light is Bright, BRIGHT IS INTELLECT, Intellect is Excellence, EXCELLENCE COINCIDES WITH ROYALTY, royalty my Queen.... We're QUEENS & KINGS with riches, RICH in color, colorful CULTURE, culture... our HERITAGE, with Heritage comes persecution, PERSECUTION IS HATE, "Hate the Popo" ─ whoa whoa Kendrick.... This is real... tell them how we feel; and hate only comes from the LACK OF TRUST.... I know, I know, the TRUTH hurts, No pain no gain.... We gain STRENGTH, Let US Stand TOGETHER, No turning Back, BLACK POWER, Power Poetry, Poetry is Beautiful, full of beauty, such a cutie, cutie pie, that is why my corniness will repeat and twist, 'Tis repeated... Everything is AWESOME!

THE END

Young, black, and proud. But never call me African-American...how can I be African-American when I was born in Jamaica.
