To You All, I Will Conquer

To you all, I will conquer By: Shaneika Cooper Most of ya’ll don’t like me, and I know ya’ll certainly don’t Believe in me You cut your eyes at me and point the finger just cause I’m that black girl With the automatic destination But little do ya’ll know, I don’t need your approval I don’t need your blessing Cause I’m a blessing, a strong confident blessing Whose voice will ring in a thousand ears Yeah, I ain’t the smartest, or the finest But I’m a perfect ten in my book And you know what? Someday you will be the one working for me Doing my dishes And I’ll just sit back on my throne and laugh!
