A Mad Black Woman

See now they say Ima

Mad Black Woman because I am passionate about my ideas,

See now they say Ima

Mad Black Woman

because my melanin is shamed by society,

See now they say Ima

Mad Black Woman

because our sons are dying,

getting shot by the feds,

or ending up in jail.

I am a Mad Black Woman

because justice is not served for #TrayvonMartin, #EricGarner, #OscarGrant

I am a Mad Black Woman

because we were taken from the homeland since the white man was lazy to do his own dirty work,

My Melanin is #Beautiful,

don't mistake my Madness for clout,

I just want my people to have a way out.
