Strife Life
Pain and strife, I’ve known for half my life,
Pain and strife, I’ll never quit the fight,
Pain and strife, it’s a warrior’s life,
Pain and strife, a lot of tears shed at night
Thank You Allah
Thank you! Allah for letting me see a new day.
Thank you! For keeping me out of harm’s way.
Thank you! For helping me with my life,
Thank you! For finding me a good wife.
Thank you! For my family and all my friends,
Thank you! For forgiving me of all my sins.
To Belong Is To Be
I’m cut from what James Farmer built.
Congress, what are you forgetting about CORE?
If I belong to what made William Garrison,
Why is the next candidate in a seat not
Fully reforming?
Home
There’s no place like home,
Instead, the streets I chose to roam,
There’s no place like home.
I wish the older guys in the community would have taught me or
Shown, the time I’m doing is hard and long.
Pride
Every June you see the celebration
The outfits and confetti
A myriad of colors that fill every major city
A coronation for all the kings, queens, and everyone in-between
Who dared to walk their own path to freedom
