ELEVATE
Yes, Empress, we must put on our gear and ride out with STRENGTH and DETERMINATION. do not let them see our emotion because they will use it against us. Be brave although you may want to cry, make those tears tears of success in ALL that you do. They don't want us to stand together and we have succumb to their plan for all too long. They expect us to smile and be cheery while our images are being dragged in the sand
stained by all the greed, ugliness we meet
everyone wants a piece of heaven
but no one wants to open their eyes
to re-a- lize all the lies
distorted by the images of a few doing good
we lay back and nod
chanting
"see we made it"
but aren't you still in the "hood"?
they capitalize on our calcified minds
distracted by the wants of todays society
Wake up, I say
and listen to the shattered heart beats
as they lose all hope
we can't just sit back and let that happen
raise not thy fists but thy MIND
elevate
celebrate being YOU
first and formost
becuase YOU queen are so much more
