I must be ? . Look what I've created
Only ? can destroy a life with words filled with hatred.
I must be ? cause so many fear me.
I reached for my hip & now no one dares come near me.
I must be ? . The devil fears my name.
Greater than you. We are not created the same.
I must be ? . A deity since my conception.
? ... confirmed by my own reflection.
But You See
She must be ? . For she dominates my thoughts.
A gaze into her eyes and to my knees I was brought.
She must be ? . She is who I am.
Without her at my side I am but a man.
She must be ? . She controls my existence.
Weakened by her presence. Incapable of offering resistance.
She must be ? . For she creates life.
She must ? . Who else could be my wife?
And
He must be ? . Born of this Man.
? ...For he is everything that I am.
He must be ? . Cause through him I live forever.
My, legacy, my name.. through him forgotten: Never.
He must be ? . For he is born of us.
He must be ? . Must be..must
He must be ? . Fashioned aloud.
? of whom his father is so proud.
WE must be ? let us not fear it.
Deity is our garment. Let us all wear it.
We must be ? . Look what we came.
A people scattered. Robbed of their name.
We must be ? and that's fact.
OH YES I AM ? CAUSE I AM BLACK.
