My Tribe

I am the way I am, because of the queens and kings who contributed to the making of me!
I am the way I am, because my great grandmother loved me way before she got to meet me!
I am the way I am, because my grandparents blessed me way before I knew what the word meant!
I pride myself in the blood, that runs through my veins.
I love my tribe with everything in me,
But the elderly take the cup!
