A Time For a Change

A time for a change I can feel it in my bones Im a color so bold it stands on its own God birth me in a race that wasnt build to break Earth colors the warmth and beauty of my race My skin shines a timeless glow a kiss from the sun Proud# of the shape of my hips Proud# of the fullnes of my lips Proud# of the boldness in my nose Its Time for a change i can feel it in my soul Marching to the rhythm my ancestors slay for me Dont care anymore for those how judge me Im learning to love me Im a woman i own me Im black im beautiful Im a proud mother and Im loving me
