Uhuru
We are natural healers of the world
Henrietta Lacks is proof of some of our magic
Yet our witchcraft is kept under a dark veil to never accurately be revealed
Forced to bow down apologetically since the beginning of time
But how could the light, taste, and sound of the world ever be kept down
Our fight is ongoing, infinite, we are limitless
Kept under pressured boundaries for centuries when we have no limit
When will we praise Ella Baker for her everlasting work in this world
Through every trial and tribulation we emerge with our magic
Soulful human beings placed on this planet as a blessing, truth be revealed
Overcoming any obstacle at every moment in time
Despite that we have been pushed and pushed and pushed back down
The beginning of picking our heads up and raising them high instead of down
“Queen Mother” Septima Poinsette Clark helping to break educational limits
The creation of Citizenship Schools to help educate our old sisters and brothers of the world
Magic at it’s finest, It is black magic
The only truth of this world, is white-washed and unrevealed
When will the time come, when will it be truth’s time
My fist is filled with pride and will remain that way until the end of my time
Fannie Lou Hamer is the definition of indestructible, never to be broken down
Beaten, threatened, shot at, assaulted and more just for trying to vote, where was the limit
Event’s of the past but has remained present under different pretences in our current world
Times like this are when we begin to exercise our magic
We are no longer apologetic but that has already been revealed
Reigns from the beginning will surely help to reveal
Hatshepsut crowned head of dynasties, developing trade routes and projects during her time
Undeterred and motivated, refused to let herself down
An egyptian queen who was not allowed any boundaries because she determined her own limits
Bringing that same energy into the present world
Her magic, runs in our veins, it is black magic
The beauty that resides within, the power and strength is magic
Maxine Waters U.S Representative, unable to be cast down
Helping to reclaim our truth’s time
The invincible, relentless power that we possess, uncovers the dark veils as she reveals
Unable to have limits
In this beautiful, unapologetic world
Our magic has no limit
The world’s truth will always be revealed
Not this time, not ever again, will we be held down.
