Me Is What I Am
I look at me
What do I see?
Me the beautiful one I am.
Mixed with things from my mom and Dad.
I see the white, black, and Indian.
I see what my ancestors have done with me.
Made me brave and strong.
Im proud to be who I am.
Short with sexy curves through out my body.
Textured hair an beautiful eyes.
What I DON'T see
Is shame and hate.
I see love and determination.
I succeed in everything I do.
I don't care what people say,
about my country talk or the way i walk.
I am what I am
Beautiful from the south
People may say I'm fake.
But hey all that is, is hate.
I'm courageous.
Strong blood flows through my veins.
I talk like a bird on the first day of spring.
I move as swiftly as a lion on the prowl.
I'm proud to show who I am.
a beautiful strong woman that can.
That can do all for everyone.
So hot that when i walk its like i set fire to a building.
My attitude is mine.
Strong and good.
I keep my head up.
Even when people try to get hood.
My confidence don't need a boost.
I know who I am.
Strong, sexy, and smooth
My hips swing from side to side.
I have that special swagga.
My mouth doesn't need to talk.
My emotions say it all.
I'm honored to be here
With the power I have
I was put here to show all
Show all how strong and tough I am.
But I don't need to prove anything.
Because me is what I am.
I like because i know this,
I know that I can say what I want
Be what i want
I know if people try and get me down
I am strong
Its in my blood
I know this because like I said,
Me is what I am
