Am I my ancestors who fought for freedom
Am I next to the throne of our unclaimed kingdom
Am I the fear, sorrow, hurt or pain
Am I the silver lining after the rain
Who am I?

Am I a slave who was beaten because I knew it wasn't right
Am I a slave who stood up and never gave up the fight
Am I the tear drop that falls after being treated so cruel
Am I the anger that gave us our fuel
Who am I?

I am the justice that set my people free
I am my soft, thick hair that grows naturally
I am the faith, joy, and happiness
I am the accomplishments that were once nothing but emptiness
That's who I am

I am the CEO of my own company
I am the judge, the doctor, and the attorney
I am the senator, the musician, and all the greats
I am the President of the United States
That's who I am
