"Our Nation"

by: Kaila J. Richards

Black power

The ability to make it ours

But we choose to turn it sour

And show no love to our power

We should cherish our color

And show that we are more than a classification of "others"

And show how much a color

Can be defined much more than "others"

Not by the pigment of our skin

But the mindset of a blooming flower

We will show the whites how we can discover

Not the newest drug

But the newest mindset that others want to devour  

We can show them how we can become one and rely on each other

Because this is Black Power

And no black should be discouraged because of the pigment of their color

"Stars"

by:KJR

It was like stars hit me

But they completely missed me

I was there for you

But you turned me blue

I tried to be with you

Not just to sleep with you

But to love you

But not to suffocate you

Your what i wanted

But i never flaunted it

I showed you my love

And more sure i went above

Before someone else could snatch you

But i was frozen like a statue

As you walked away with the next dude

And it felt like the stars hit me

And this time it didn't miss me

"Societies Problems"

by:KJR

We come together to rise up

And show that we are one within

Not by the complexion of our skin

We will overcome the detestation that we get

And show we are more the just black women and men

We will show that we can become doctors and scientist

And we are more than drug dealers and alcoholics

We will show that the pigment of our skin

Has nothing to do with the way that we live

But the history that our ancestors lived

We will show that we are more than "niggas"

And slaves to the average rich white kids

A month to learn about African Americans

But a year to learn about white children and men

But it's not just us it's everyone who isn't born Caucasian
