Take Back the Crown

This piece is one written with love out of anger. Anger for our people here and the ones lost. Anger towards those who don’t understand, and those who don’t want to understand. It’s time for us to unite.

We come from kings and queens

A lineage of royalty

From the beginning of time

The world formed from our bloodline

Along the way

The story mixed with lies

And what we were told

Destroyed our strong ties

Now the time has come

To reclaim our rights

To let them know

We’re going to stand up and fight

No more apologies

We’re done being sorry

Gonna hold our heads high

Re-write our own story

We’re going to win

It’s already written in the book

Time to control the reigns

And make them look

They can’t block our shine

They can’t keep us down

Because now is our time

To Take Back The Crown
