|
| Gotta love it, gotta love it, gotta love it, gotta love it
|
| It means to be broadened, y’know, beyond the understanding that black women are
|
| strong
|
| Body and souls and so we’re not only strong, we are, we are helpers,
|
| we are lovers, we are fighters, y’know, we, we love strong
|
| But we are also human, y’know that mean’s we are vulnerable
|
| Y’know we are, we hurt, y’know we ache, like everybody else
|
| We need somebody, to, to be strong for us when we are taking the bumps,
|
| the bruises we’re here on the frontlines, fighting so many battles that many
|
| people are not privy to and so I think that
|
| So y’know we are sisters, we are aunts, y’know we are deaconesses,
|
| we are leaders in our churches, y’know, we are speakers, we are writers,
|
| y’know we are corporate, y’know, CEO board executives
|
| We are advocates, we need our brothers to stand up and defend black womanhood
|
| Don’t silence us, y’know, be happy that we are here to enable you,
|
| to empower you
|
| But we also need that empowerment to go both ways |
