I’ve listen to every reason why I can’t be
Too big
Too black
Too much “uppity” in me
Too curvy
Wide ass
Hey gal feed my baby
Too strong—and
Spiritual
I’ll hang your ass from a tree
I said:
All your talk don’t mean nothing to me
I’ll prove you wrong, one day, wait and see
I’ll no longer be feeding your precious baby
My Big
Black
Uppity
Curvy
Ass
Spirit—
Will set me free
I will no longer live under your tyranny
Accept me as I am so I can be who I be!
