I think I lost My Way

I think I've lost my way
I'm trying to find my way back 
The things that are natural
have been taken from my black
Brainwashed into thinking loving myself is wrong
The texture of my hair nappy
What some consider weak
Is the strength of my song
Born in this world naked with no clothes
Unsure about life
So they programmed a knee grow
I had to fall in love with myself
I had to love being me
Although I was taught to hate
The beautiful features that I see
I have children
I was implanting generational curses 
Thinking I was changing history
When I was actually reversing 
So I ask myself 
Who am I 
Am I black 
Am I free
Am I caught in the lies of this Slave captivity
When I look in the mirror
Does it reflect Or deflect
Do I love the skin I'm in
My dark lovely melanin 
The rules of the world
The time the days
To go back to the truth
I stem from the roots
Today is the day
I'm going back to my natural way
