If I Can Give Back

Poem: If I could give back I give back this slave name that these white masters gave us~I give back all the beatings that our ancestors had to take,I give back the hate that caused them to hate the color of our skin, I give back all the years that we suffered,I give back all the name callings and they nasty ass spit that crossed our face,I give back all the pain n suffering,all the hollering and screaming,I give back our land that they stole us from, I give back the sleepless nights, the worries n tears,I give back all the hard work, working in cotton fields, I give back how they stripped us from our duty but what I aint give n back is my African beauty~By ya #1 n only MBA
