we we we we
we were fearful
that our voices
would be transferred
into the marshes
and we would no longer be able to sing
our selfs
what was given to us was that
was that we would continue to sing
in the marshes long after our death
I'm proud (I'm proud)
proud to be an African
African like you
its why they say
black is beautiful (X's 30ish)
