I am Here, I am Not Moving

I am here

I am not moving

Not gonna scream and shout

Not gonna be swayed another way

Not gonna be separated from what I rightfully deserve another day

I am here

I am not moving

Plowing through life as a lover and a fighter

Plowing through many uncertainties and disbeliefs

Plowing, trying to find my way through a path that is not clear

I am here

I am not moving

Why are you moving from your goals

Why do you allow others to control your natural creative flow

Why do you wonder if you can, when there is nothing holding your

progress but your wondering why

I am here

I am not moving

Will you move or stand up for your rights

Will you move or serve as an example for other blacks and make them believe in what is right

Will you move or continue to represent the dreams and hopes fro the many slaves, activists,

and leaders of the past

I am here

I am not moving

Together, we can reshape ignorance, racism, trials and tribulations, and negativity

Together, we can build a community based on our own ideas and cultural influence

Together, we can-

Save our children

Save our race

Save our souls

Save our beings

I am here

I am not moving

We are all here, we will not be moved

We are all here-ready, willing, and equipped with the knowledge, loving spirits,

and skills to progress ourselves and others

We are all here, with the great influence of heroines of the past

I am here

I am not moving

If they are smart, they will move and allow us to finally

blossom and reach our true potential

If they are smart, they will finally release us from the shackles that once held our

physical body and conquered our emotional mind

If they are smart, they will open their minds and allow themselves to see us

for more than just inferior beings

I am here

I am not moving

You are here

You are not moving

We are here

We are not moving
