I AM BLACK, I AM A MAN

I am black I am a man I have plenty of dreams like Martin Luther king sometimes I scream like my ancestors getting beat flashes images of horror hitting me while I blink think i might need a shrink Black history, auctions whippings I am a black man you dare to stare unstructured my brothers is today I am a black man I will take the stand like Malcolm x speak black lead the way like sojourner truth throw powerful punches like Muhammad Ali laugh at me inflict me like Rodney king I am a man even tho you got the upper hand I still will stand and speak black dont make me bring my ancestors spirits back you know we strong and we black I'm not a racist I'm just screaming im black!!!
