To be great 👑 is to be consistent,

The writing ✍️ inspired by her painting 🖼

Be sure to have vision

whether you know it or not

your crown 🤴🏾is set,

no matter how many new ways they feed us lies. Our Royalty is a fact!

So many shades of brown

representing us being created from the Earth,🌎

waves, braids, locs, or naps

just a few styles to ensure our worth.

The only curse is the confusion amongst ourselves,

with as much influence as we have

that’s the harder they fall

there’s no reason to dwell.

Meditate 🧘🏾‍♀️🧘🏾‍♂️& change direction

I hear the ancestors talking,👂🏾

short or tall the Earth love

when the melanins get to walking!

Just as important as the trees 🌲 🌳

we give air to all beings,

our woman 👩🏾 are the true gateway

physical, spiritual, & galaxy meet in between.

Creation at birth breeding

warriors, kings, Emperors, as well as more stars.

Power is greater than the 50 cents cycled 💰💸🪙

gold is in our DNA 🧬 & it’s ours.

We known about on Mars 🛸👽

as well many other planets & universes.

Our words got such a mighty rhythm

they wait on the edge drooling for our verses. 🎶🎤🎵

Trusting the hustle

to be our stepping stone into our growing deys,

eyes 👀 see a lot as well learn

each sunrise 🌄 to sunset 🌅

is just a new page.

On the book of life 📕📗📘📙

we the soil,

reason them devils plot against us.

Calling our home the United States

yet they intentionally don’t include us.

So fuck ‘em 🖕🏾🖕🏿🖕🏽along with the house nigga working with,

my crown gone always sit high 🤲🏾🙏🏾

shine boldly ☀️just as my heart ♥️

so I polish it.

Yea they lie about my roots

& still I’m important as a tree,

bringing life into the world 🗺
