Baba Receives Permission To Speak
by Usiku We are a creative people,Putting mud to cloth to stay,
Rituals of proud display,
Beware of the civilized way,
And listen to what Mama say. We are God's, and Afrika's artistry,
A skillful blend of vibrant clay,
As we crouch beside the tiger the old way,
To capture the hope of a sacred life,
"Feel the butterfly," according to "Dre." People! We are incredibly intelligent!
Stoop close to understand what was meant,
The truth, the wisdom, the origin,
The season and soil of expansiveness,
Yes! We dance,
To consecrate the continent. We are magic and rhythm,
Each poetic is seen through vision,
As Momma embraces each song,
Cry not long,
Rains will prove to soothe the pains,
'Til all sounds sleep in her cradle. We are grains of spirit,
Precious as one, powerful in sum,
Resolute and esteemed we come,
To restore elder knowledge in the prodigal young,
And to listen as we hear it.

Lookin' Black and being Black
is as different as fire and rain
Let lovin' it and livin' it
be the way we do our thing(From Five On The Black Hand Side by Keisha Brown)
