"I Am, We Are"
  by Quiet Storm


I am tha so called "yella" gurl with tha long hair
Tha gurl with tha short hair
Tha gurl with a relaxer
Tha gurl who let herself free and gave her 4ro a chance 2 live
Tha gurl with African (and Indian) blood
Runnin through her veins
Rivers of my life...
I am tha different gurl
That still fits into tha puzzle
Even if not entirely
I am tha weak gurl tha strong gurl
Tha quiet gurl tha loud gurl
Tha prissy gal tha tomb boy
Tha one who iz perfectly imperfect
I am tha gurl who loves herself
Tha shy gurl tha confident gurl
Tha one who iz neva a follower alwayz a leader
The real, tru one, never a trully fake one
Tha one with visions of love and lovely visions
Of what i can do

We are tha people with tha strong ancestors
Beautiful ebony mimickin tha pleasant night sky
Beautiful brown imitation of Mother Earth
Beautiful pale-all colorz so wonderful
Tha short people tha tall people
Tha chunky people tha skinny people
Tha Natural people the Permed people
Tha ballas and shot-callas
And tha doctors and lawyers
Tha ones so fly they wonder how we do it
Tha people with strong beautiful voices
And strong spirits and minds
So many things in our possession
Unique 2 us
Tha people who may seem dumb but r oh so smart
Tha people who have so much talent 2 change tha world
So why don't we?
I am, we are...
