Always been a different breed
Planting seeds of dreams
Knowing I was made to lead
My light shining brighter
Than any of the suns in space
I won't die without a trace
I WAS HERE
In my poems
In my stories
In my heart
I existed
I used to bleed
The blood of the freed
Slaves breaking from chains
Always had to succeed
Showing that black girls exceed
All expectations
WE WERE HERE
In our strength
In our love
In our hearts
We existed
