Words By Peter Pearse-elosia

Never forget your roots, Black is African , black is excellent. Black is beautiful , black is pride _______________. Not only am i black I’m African too... I’m from a land where our men are handsome and our women are beautiful... A land where we have gold, oil and even our people are resourceful And You be fronting, acting like you dont need us too ...

For what its worth you’re not alone The cries and tears, the bleeding through your soul. ______________________________________ You want to do it ? Go ahead and do it But remember all that’s ahead, do you really wanna screw it ? ______________________________________ Do it and leave the ones you love the most hurt, That young boy reading the news and got himself caught ______________________________________ In the agenda that the best way to escape is to take his own life He could have been president and maybe get his own wife ______________________________________ Start his own family and make plans to change the world But depression is real he needs you and I to spread the word

I want you to know that I thought of you today. I hope you’re resting well ❤️ _____________________________________________________________ Hey Grandma I know it’s been a long time since I wrote to you Truth be told, life’s been crazy since I finished school. Remember how I told you I wanna make mama proud? Well the journey’s been real but I bet mama is proud ——————————————————————————— You’re with the angels now they taking care of you I’m jealous because they’re enjoying all that I would People say there’s a reason for everything The Earth’s wildin’ , wouldn’t have wanted you to feel this pain. _____________________________________________________________ Grandma I remember all the talks that we had About how I could be successful if I realize my bad Not close to 30 but they proud of me Just like the smiles on their faces when I got my degree. ——————————————————————————— How are you Iya, how is God treating you? He’s been doing a good job here with all these good news Everyone’s happy we smile everyd
