I want my body back

Inspired by Jessica care moore and Ntozake Shange

I want my body back

Because Someone walked away with all of my stuff

Took my name, my language, my home, my family,

my body, my mind, my sense of any

I want my body back

Because someone walked away with all of my stuff

My lips, my hips, my shade, my braids

They took it and walked away

Give me back my color and I'll give you your bleach

Give me back my Breast milk and I'll give you back the English you teach

I want my body back

Because some one walked away with all of my stuff

Give me my congo hands, Nigerian feet, wetlands fingers, Sahara toes

Give me my south african mouth, Egyptian eyes, Guyana ears, and Kenyan nose

I want my black children and my black man

I want what's mine, you understand

I want my body back

Because some one walked away with all of my stuff

They keep taking from me, it's never enough

But for me it is, enough is enough

I want my body back

I want my stuff

I want my body back

I'm not asking for much

I want my body back

I want my stuff

I want my body back

Because I want my stuff
