My African King
You inspire me
You’ve ruled over our men, their men
And many nations to come
You ejaculated power over the golds,
The diamond, the mountains
You were listened to, respected
Over time you were unwillingly pushed down
From your rank in society
But continued to be strong
And nurtured your people and family
You were freed and again enslaved
By the hatefulness
Of a departed nation
But now you’re back on top
Leading businesses, fashion and music
You’ve accomplished what they said
You couldn’t pursue
You put your woman first
Take time to listen and please her
You don’t exploit her body to the outside world
Because she’s yours and only yours
I respect where you stand
You’ve turned into someone
When they told you you’d be nothing
You’re my strong black man
You’re my African king
