Who Are We?
Who are we as African Americans to say yes we can
At the beginning we couldn’t even protect our land
When the white men and there armies came and captured us and stole our dignity
We thought we was going to be slaves for infinity
But little did we know change was going to come
Years start to pass and we began to get num
With the situations at hand
Until someone stepped up and said yes we can
We defeated slavery with minds that’s to optimistic
To even become made into a statistic
Years and years past that went to fast
Because at the blink of an eye
We have our 44th president
Which is a black man
That stands and say it proud yes we can.
