WHO AM I?
I am the positivity that makes you strong
I am the negativity that becomes impossible for you to overcome
I am the purple haze that Henderix so loved
I am the spoon of the fiegns that can't get enough
I am that bubble – that thizzle - that bump
I am the flame that lights your blaze
That black light invaded by neon that leaves you in a daze
WHO AM I?
I am preeminent beauty
You see?
My beauty is enough to beat you into submission
I am the inventor of all emotion
The master of expression
I am the Queen of both good and evil
I'll have more than enough
But I'll still take yours then leave you
I am the beginning that has no end
While you're in comfort on your knees
I am what stands


Forever in thought
Always in motion
I am Willie Lynchism
Separation from within
I keep ignorance alive and destroy the knowledge instilled
Continuous struggle
The Almighty Power Structure
No matter how long you scream for your so called equality
I choose not to hear you
The fire hose
Tear gas
And that pack of German Shepherds?
Yea – that was me too

WHO AM I?
I am those dismembered, gutted, raped and maimed
I am the tree the noose and the body
I am the black & white picture of his-story saved
I am the message in living color that this picture made
The mis-education keeping you trapped
I am those chains
Whether it's the gold you wear around your neck now
Or the tin that strangled you in your bondage days

WHO AM I?
I am the oppressed and the oppressor
The controller of your subconscious
Dominion over all
I am above and beyond all royalty
You are blessed
I am the blessing

WHO AM I?
I am what's right
Working first from the inside
I am the lover of myself and of my people
I am the definition of unity
I am the essence of what all strive for
The daughter of Huey and Cleaver
For the panther is the mother from which I was born

WHO AM I?
I am the ignorant and the conscious
The visionary who is blinded
The truth of the innocent
The mask of the deceit
I am the patience of the wise
The Earth is my melody
The voice of the Wind
Fire is my harmony
I am what it takes to keep my community alive
I am everything that has destroyed my community
