My Black Matters ©NikkiR
Politicians sit back while their pockets get fatter
Watching young people **** each other
As the violence we hear gets louder
My black matters
You say I speak incorrectly because my chatter "ain't" like your chatter
My dialect isn't what you expect, but these degrees I represent
Are displayed so you won't forget that my dialect had no influence and no matter what you say, the world can't undo it!
My black matters
I wear my hair natural
But if my natural is offensive to you
Be offended because my natural is oh so beautiful
My black matters
I will continue to climb higher
You will not hinder my elevation
Because my black will rise above all deprivation!
