Own Our Own

As a people, we have often been

Copied,

Covered,

Sampled,

Imatiated,

Even though often hated,

Stolen,

Overlooked,

Unappreciated,

Underrated,

Underestimated

And do not get much credit.

I know why Aretha carried her purse,

I understand why Nina had a gun.

It’s a must at anything to,

Own our own.
