I live my life wishing to be free,
thinking there is some clear solution I should see.
Just like my ancestors,
I am a slave not to man but mind.
From the blade my wrists are lined.
My self-esteem works hard to stay alive
but it is whipped and crushed.
The pain is all on the inside.
But my heart will write a new emancipation proclamation.
Maybe I'm strong enough to break these chains.
I will free my brain,
and embrace my name.
With help I will rise above.
Myself I will learn to love.
