This Is Ourstory

This that cure for the crack that Reagan sold,
Mansa Musa coming back to slap Musk with a sack of gold.
This that spook sitting by the door, the lady tired of singing blues,
The caged bird, horse voice, busting loose.
This that order number three on the nineteenth of June,
The poplar tree with strong roots, fertilized by strange fruit,
Rosa Kaepernick sitting on those Woolworth's stools,
The chains broken by Queen Nanny of Maroons
This is that Unapologetic Black, Black and Proud, Black power,
Black man, Black glove raised fist while he's standing.
This ain't code switch Massa's gone, back to freedom planning.
This the moment Nat Turner put the plan into action.
This is cassie in the woods beating Lilly Jean with passion.
This ain't cli vs. Frazier, this is cli Fighting drafting.
This is Hughes this is Basie, this is Grand Master Flash.
Basquiat, Savage, Emeory Douglas. This is Jazz.
This is the hug uncle Phil gave to Will. This is that show,
The steps that Ruby took to get to school when she was hassled.
Brown, Garrison, cbolitionist aid.
This is the thunder and the rain, Fred Douglas, cgitate!
This is innovation, carver with the peanut.
Bannaker in D.C, Real McCoy how I steam up.
Ghana gold music in your ear, it won't green up.
We want our culture back, Uncle Sam signed a prenup.

This aint History, this is Ourstory.
This aint History, this is Ourstory.
Black History is Ourstory.
