you are (blk wmn by felicia henry) - kevin anglade lyrics
intro (k.a.): attention! may i have your attention, please! today’s public service announcement is brought to you by the lovely, ms. felicia henry
verse (felicia): and when they come, head high/chin straight, back tall, shoulders square/no fear in your eyes, don’t give them the satisfaction of seeing you cry/you are, black woman/and so, when they come to pillage and destroy your village and leave generations out in shackles and chains to be slaves of a new nation head high, you are, unbreakable/and when they come to have their way with you as you tend to the fields breaking back for profit, desecrating the sacred, chin straight, you are, resilient/and when they come to demand motherhood for children, you do not birth while robbing you of the privilege to raise those you did, back tall, you are, remarkable/and when they come to box you into the narratives of welfare queen or jezebel and deviant, trapping you in systems of structural violence, shoulders squared, you are unconstrained/you are black woman, with a legacy to survive, to thrive, to remain alive, they cannot extinguish your flame/you are black woman, you are black woman, you are black woman, so…blaze!
