Queendede storie

I am the culture I am the beads swaying on the waist of a dancer I am the dark skin girl forged from fire I am the culture I am every textile and every fabric I am the wind causing the canoe to seal Yet the calm wind the sea breeze brings I am deeply rooted in the soil I came from gold I produce oil I am the black culture I am bold and brave I dance in the mist of danger I've been broken and bend against my will but I still stand firm and rose to become great I absorb hate and turn it to love I blossom in any weather especially in the storm I shape my world and affect lives I am the culture of love and peace I embrace the culture of harmony I am black and proud I believe in the black culture I am the culture
