    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
