THIS FREEDOM   Nequa Profacy

T H I S F R E E D O M

Ain’t nobody tell me that they loved me today And I still made it Still was great Still let my melanin shine Just like this little light Like this glimmer of hope I know Someone loves me But hell Even if they don’t I love me And it took a long time for me to be this brave For me to be this free To set down my burdens Some weren’t even mine to begin with Had to set them down So I could dance So I could grove And move And stretch Got this kink in my back Got this ache in my body See, now I’m trying to be healed Ain’t wondering were the next coming from The here and now is what I prayed for And I know I got more praying to do Got more steps to take More responsibility to take on Still evolving And growing And never out running myself Taking breaks But never giving up Because I had been given up on Too easily So now we don’t wait for praise Or I love yous We stand solid We hold accountability To our reflections
