Started From The Top
Started from the Bottom, Now we here?
Sorry my dear, can't agree with that there.
We were Kings and Queens before we knew it
Building and ruling things, what ever happened to it?
Nowadays my people act like they forgot that black it beautiful
Don't let the idea of "light skin" is the right skin ruin you
We started from top, now nearly extinct
Think about it, we disappearing leaving no receipt
Single homes, mothers on welfare
Men not fathering kids they bought in here
Kids having kids, and they say it's okay
Black on Black violence never went no where
Drugs, Money, and Power; another way to make our race fade away
Embrace yourself, and what you stand for
Because you not only represent yourself, but the many black people that are to come
So set an example, and pave the way
Because we are history in the making
