“I AM”

I am the King -- I am the Queen

I am the Hope -- I am the Dream

I’ve been called outspoken

I am well spoken

I’ve been called headstrong

I am a fighter against wrong

I’ve been called troublemaker

I am the Black child saver

I’ve been Criticized, Stereotyped, Raped and Chastised

But I am still the keeper of My “Tribe”

I’ve been made a slave

But I am no longer that way

I’ve been taken from My home beaten and burned

But I am still standing strong

I’ve been thrown in jail, treated like hell

Stripped of My pride, lost My life

But I am still fighting for My rights

I’ve seen My Church burned

I will rebuild it stone by stone

I am what I am

I am the beginning, the middle, and the end

I am the King -- I am the Queen

I am the African American

I am the Dream
