This one is for my brothers. My siblings that are Kings.

This world could be ours. What better dominion for a king.

True patriarchs from where the world’s family started.

Even at our lowest points we remain brave hearted.

Once captive and in chains we had to make it out the struggle.

No worry about the nay sayers who bring us trouble.

We are the liberators. Always ready for war, but also kind.

Wisdom and knowledge seekers who want to free your mind.

Black man you’re not just my friend. You’re my brother.

Sometimes we fight each other, but still need one another.

I’ll choose you every time. Nothing can sway my decision.

I got your back and that’s a given in this King’s dominion.
