Maya Angelou

(Chorus) Hey Maya Maya Angelou I wrote this song for you Wish I could perform for you But now you're up in the clouds (Verse 1) Black queen, wish you could sit down with this rap fiend People telling me I'm exactly what this rap needs But I want to be more than that if you ask me I want to speak and reach people outside of this rapping I want to juggle a life just like you did Devote my time to my art poems and music But you left before I could ask you the blueprint How did you still keep a beautiful smile all through this You were an activist, wrote great passages Worked with King and Malcolm, and you also was an actress and At the same time I see these pictures of you laughing and Wanted to ask you how you maintained that happiness How did you deal with the pressure was it stressful Everyone coming to you because you're special I got some feelings that I need to let the rest know Heartbreak from the past that I hold but I should let go Black queen...you motivated the world Gave a voice to broken lost little girls I hope you're dancing now in Heaven do your twirl A second life lived as an angel what you've earned You got it all I know you were a blessing with God involved Writing hand had more power than a lion's paw Are you in heaven now still writing poems (Chorus) (Verse 2) Why do we shame our women, and degrade our women Rarely raise our women, or ever praise our women Try to change and chain not repay our women And when we think of survivors we never name our women Look in the mirror queens don't stop at just Beyoncé You are Destiny's Child now go and Run The World bae Keep a smile on ya, know we proud of ya Got a Halo and a crown on ya, she’s profound royal The only B-Word you should call your woman is beautiful You think that dime and a canine are identical When I hear that dog term I SMH cause it's pitiful You're calling her the dog, but really needing to picture you Saying it to your friends about her because you think it's cool Not realizing that this is the woman who wants her kids with you Yes it's just a word but you're missing the whole principle Speak of her like she's invincible not like she's invisible It's probably hard to walk in your shoes Can only give so much cause there's so much that you lose But I love you for what you do to, Ms. Hill, Erykah Badu Michelle, Oprah, Keys, Beyonce, and Angelou (Chorus)
