I’m living’ life for me
And for whom I know I can be
I’m living’ life through and through
Because I know I have something to prove
I’m living’ life for all my brothers and sisters, who are in war
Who had to come home mentally scared and sore
I’m living’ life for the girl, who had to get an abortion
Because she was just 16, and didn’t know how to be a mother
I’m livin’ life for the dude, who just joined a gang
Because now his life is going to be filled with sorrow and pain
I’m livin’ life for all my blacks who still deal with racism
Especially the women who deal with sexism
I’m livin’ life for my Lord, God above
I’m livin’ life for my family, with much love
I’m livin’ life for my mother, life for my brother
Life for the man who’s about to rap which is my father

Maria Price Poem
Some people look at the world and say, they only see black and white,
But I couldn’t say that honestly, not even with all my might.
When I see the world, I see brown, orange, and cream,
I see colors from the lightest to the darkest and everything in between.
When I look at the world, I see hurting of inisent people,
Doesn’t matter what their first or last names are, whether it’s Johnson, or Trepal.
Because see, they’re still hurting and being judged because of their colors,
But to me, they’re still all my sisters & brothers.
So when someone acts me, when I look at the world, what do I see?
I say I see hurting people, all different colors, just like me
