African Cameroon Nigerian Birth from The CREEK NATION

I am black 
Yet I am one of God lambs
I am also African/CameroonNigerian
And also birth from the Creek nation
Lo, I am of blended shade
Darken medium blend
I am BLACK
Yet I am also African/CameroonNigerian
Ahh!! and also birth from the Creek nation
Yes!  part  Creek indian
Funny, No not really the Creek also had slaves
If  we of mixed races were dogs
Would be called muts
And you know, no  matter how light skinned were
Still have to sit in back of bus
All of this is in my past 
Discrimination and slavery
So much part of my DNA and history
Peel my skin away I'm the same I bleed
I'm Gods child, I am a human being
African, Cameroon, Nigerian Creek
I am black 
Yet I am one of God lambs
I am also African/CameroonNigerian
And also birth from the Creek nation
