A Message to the Black Goddess by Kamal Imani-Spoken Word Poetry (1963 hits)

azzy, funky, inspirational, spoken word lyrical, serious and socio-historical. Kamal is uplifting the sistahs who have been teased and isolated due to the hue of their skin.
There is even a historical apology. This song sounds real good.

Your the divine matriarch, first human on earth
The mother of creation, goddess of the universe

Black Woman
on behalf of all real black men
I apologize
for not protecting you, for not respecting you and not providing for you
from this day
back to 1555
When that slave ship Jesus arrived
I'm sorry for the fear that made me freeze when massa committed
those atrocities
and I'm sorry that I haven't controlled cities or communities
since the days back in the east
But for now on, I promise,that I will go to war with this beast
within me and society
internally and externally
Cause your the divine matriarch, first human on earth
The mother of creation, goddess of the universe
and the Black man, must repent and put you first
cause we use to do better by you
but recently, you've went from sugar to shiii

See my Poppa taught me about your black beauty
You don't need stringy hair, you can keep it kinky
and it will communicate with the ethers even better

I mean, your black skin with that divine melanin
gives you the third eye and emotions
that enable you to suspend
all worldly thoughts and ascend
beyond mortal parameters and margins
somebody say you lackin front and backin
i beg there pardon
and your double chocolate cocoa will always make me grin.
If I take a shot in the dark and miss your mark it will be a sin.
and if I sound like I'm running game, we'll I'm running to win.
What's your religion? If I get to chanting in front of your temple, will
you let me in? I'll be yo best friend

So they teased you, isolated you
and left you with scars
only because none of you knew who you were
Just like Naomi campbell, Alek Wek and Lupita Nyong'o you're a star so
don't doubt your beauty for a nano second
cause you a sister from the stars so keep star trekkin!

Your the divine matriarch, first human on earth
The mother of creation, goddess of the universe
