Who Am I
I am the lady of rage
I worked for my master until my old age.
I am the mother of this earth
I worked in contton fields while Iwas given birth.
I am the sister of soul
Rhythm, poetic, beautiful black and bold.
I am the African American Queen
I've accomplished all my goals
and conquered all of my dreams.
I am who I am because of the places I have been
Gaining strength everyday, remembering the now and then.
Remembering my past and the knowledge I have obtained
African American Queen is the name that I claim.
