Woman to woman my sistas,
We have to do better.
We need to look up more
Instead of looking down
Upon each other.
Here, let me help straighten
Your crown.
There ya go!
Embrace yourselves as you are
And accept your sistas as they are.
There’s one on your left,
One on your right,
One in front of you,
And one in back of you.
Give your sista behind you
Something to look forward to.
Set an example for her so
The lessons she learns can
Be the foreground for next generation.
And as we teach our children
In the way they should go,
When they’re older,
They will not part from it.
Give your sista in front of you
A pat on her shoulder
As you work together
For the greater good,
Let her know you’ve got her back!
Doing so will create a ripple effect
So she won’t have to bear
The weight of depression
Upon her shoulders.
Give your sista on the right
The same as your sista on the left.
Uplifting and inspiring words of
Strength, hope, faith and the
Ever so burden lightening kind gesture
Of a helping hand.
Doing so creates a ripple effect
So she won’t have to bear
The weight of oppression and sadness
On her mind or in her heart.
It may just be a few moments
Of your time that makes
A world of difference.
Now let us uplift our babies
In the same manner,
Keeping the torch lit
For easier travels.
Doing so creates a ripple effect
So they have the knowledge
And wherewithal to overcome
Any obstacles along their journey.
And by all means,
Woman to woman,
We MUST help our men
Too many have been taken
Away from us throughout time
And our foundation
Is beginning to crack and shift.
We’ve gotta pull it together and
Pull together so we all can do better.
Doing so creates a ripple effect
Of mountain moving faith
Allowing us both to grow and
Pave new ways so our next
Generation of men will become
Better and stronger
As we and time move on.
Woman to woman,
We need to look to our right,
Our left, in front of us
And in back of us more often
Instead of looking down
Upon each other.
And by all means if you see
Any other crown losing ground,
Let a sista know so y’all can
Reach up and reset it.
Doing so creates a ripple effect
And as we connect
The weight of depression
Oppression and sadness
Bears no residence within us,
Hearts and minds are clear
And obstacles along journeys
Become the stepping stones of
Newly created paths
As we all move forward
For the greater good.
And now that we’ve
Straightened our crowns,
Let’s rise Queens!
