She is risen from the Earth, My strong black woman.
She is the darkness and light
She is hard and soft
She is solemn and cheerful
She is modest and boastful
She is complicated and encompasses us all.
My fine black woman is the essence of the Earth and stands tall
She motivates, maneuvers, and moves
She always keeps her groove.
She is a queen among queens
She stands amongst others and alone at the same time
She straightens her crown effortlessly
While she lifts up others graciously
My Strong Black woman, Queen Supreme
She has held the weight of the world on her back
But remains unappreciated and full of neglect
She endures reverence and disrespect
She does not let her spirit lack
She knows her inner self worth
This will always keep her on the right track
My Strong Black Woman
She is behind the making of great men
Even though credit for her efforts is quite thin
Pushing and moving others forward
Drying those infamous tears of oppression
Strong Black woman: Queen Supreme
She is every woman
The mother, sister and friend
The one who will always lend a hand
She is me and she is you she is everyone and no one at the same time
She is risen from the Earth my strong Black Woman
My strong Black woman has been on the move
From learning to read and to Pulitzer Prize winners
From the cotton fields to the White House
From back-door brothels to The British Monarchy
From a mere domestic to Chief Operating Officer
From singing in the church choir to the Queen of Soul
From the Delta of Mississippi to the richest woman in America
From welfare to the New York Stock Exchange
From Compton to the greatest of all times.
The GOAT is our queen-supreme
Her greatness is the source of obsession
While she suffers a life of oppression
She is an unsolved-puzzle
A mysterious-mystery
She is my strong Black woman
Risen from the Earth who apologizes to none.
Queen Supreme, a strong black woman
Doesn’t have preferential treatment
To voice concern is discontentment
When she is kind, they think it’s a weakness
When she keeps silence, they think she is speechless.
How does she remain so strong?
Queen Supreme still smiles
She still smiles when the world around her frowns
She knows her worth and wears her crown
My strong black woman
Risen from the Earth
Queen Supreme
