I Am The Reply!
I don't have to climb Mt. Everest
Stand atop just to realize my power
Not even conquering it
Would due my legacy justice
My survival has already given me merited
Understand...
Again...understand
I am at my peak
Because those before me
Laid down their lives for my excellency
You claim it your way...
Yes, they gave me an advantage!
So I have taken my place
I am..
Yes! Oh hell yes I am!
Solidified by their strength
Encouraged by their unbreakable courage
I am the vision
A realized dream
I am hope immortalized
I am fears conquering
I am every tear cried
Every drop of blood
Y'all dont hear me....
See I am the nightmare
Educated and unrelenting
Protective and determined
My family!
My people!
My culture!
I am the awaking
The clarity that so many fear!
I am the realization
That not only am I the continuation!
I am also the trustee!
I am the alpha & omega
My brothers keeper!
My sistas fortress!
Some say I am over protective
I am the shield for
My daughter's and son's
Through me is their peace and direction
Say what you may if me...
I say close or distant
Your more to me than a child of God
You are me and I you
Feel me know...
This is important!
Of my self is my soul
In myself is my refuge
Young or old
Short or tall...
Through the years focus has been lost
Roots have been decimated
Wings have been clipped
Those silenced voices....
Oh my...the voices!
I still heard your whispers crying
Prayed in the darkness
Rejuvenated my spirit in the quietness
Of the darkness
Gathered my thoughts
In the darkness
Only when I emerged from the darkness
Did the enemy see my strength
Even as i stood alone in a sea of great whites
And while so many was looking up
I was being lifted up!
By the generations...
The multitudes that cried out
I am the reply!
