I am a black women

I am a black women

I am a black women

With hair thick as wool

skin as rough as bricks

And Eyes as brown as dirt

Yet my heart still bleeds red

I am a black women

Who thinks of herself as royalty

Loves to read

And even have fun

Yet my heart still bleeds red

I am a black women

Who sees her people dying

Dying because of their skin

And I don’t know how to help

Now my eyes bleeds red tears

I am a black women

Who is angry

Who is fed up but scared to die

Who life is at risk

So my eyes bleeds red tears

I am a black women

That will let my voice speak of for those who died

Those that wasn’t able to breathe to speak up

Who needs justice today and everyday

Who blood was also red

I am a black women

Who is tired of staying quiet

Who speaking up on the behalf of my ancestors

And the behalf of my people today

Yet we still bleed red

I am a black women

Who will not back done

Until equality really mean something

Until I can get you to realize as well

That we all are the same Just different races

And you too bleeds red

I am an angry black women

Who live in a world Despite that my people are killed for our complexion

Just want justice for my people

And to love everyone no matter what

Also to remind you

That we all bleed red despite of our complexion
