Simply Me

I'm a strong black man.

With my strong two feet I stand.

With the bible as 
my soul release.

with guidance and wisdom 
as a gate way to freedom.

with knowlege as the key 
to breaking away from adversity,

I come to find me

i was blind by vanity 
but now i see humility.

by my black heritage which 
would be a royal decree i 

declear me to be simply me
