"Our Nation" (PoeticWord) By: Tanisha D. Davis

"You won't find a nation that rocks like we do.
That walks like we do, that talks like we do.
Our ways to adapt in any matter of climate
we can ride the sun rays at its highest
we can rock waves and locked hair
we are trend setters & natural stylists
From our, cheekbones, hips and thick lips
Our strong features make us natural born teachers
teachers to those who still can't figure out how we,
Smile even when we don't have a dime
Shine even when the world considers us the ultimate crime
Laugh even when they use to get out of the pool
thinking our black skin would stain them with no clue that our black skin is part of them.
We are a nation that defeats any sport we touch down on
A nation that built a nation from the ground we now stand on,
Our song, Our Ebonical Lingo, can't be understood so they say its hood & you need to speak slow.
We so magical, We so theatrical, We so dramatical and often times we say screw being grammatical.
We are our own people and many envy that
they think a few bullets will get us to step back
Cool, we'll simply remove our money from your bank stack
Let's see how far you get without our nation...tell me how you love that!"
