The skin I am glistens like honey as the sunshines from Heaven's skies.
They ask me " What are you?" as if I am from another dimension !
"Are you Puerto Rican ? Are you Jamaican? Where are you from?"
I never understood why it mattered cause we all are here to fulfill our purpose and leave this world better than we've found it.
I must say peculiar minded people decided to create the race label.
See , I walk with my head high proudly on a daily.
I'm quick to remind people that I am not black !!
I am not a label or color !!
I don't wear no label from a soul on this planet.
Some people try to give me hell about my own personal preferences.
Then they wonder why Caucasians treat us like we're less than.
We have to stop allowing them to tell the narrative !!
We have to pick up books and fight back through education !!
They could lock us behind bars but they cannot take the knowledge that lies within our hearts !!
I am a descendant of royalty !!
I am a descendant of wealth !!
I am a descendant of warriors !!
