#161 - UKUMKANIKAZI

From time immemorial before we were betrayed, sold, stolen and bartered into slavery black women were QUEENS. The adorning of our hair created our crowns and was not only hated by our captors it was envied. The curves and strength of our bodies desired and lusted for yet reviled and ridiculed. However, to this day we still stand firmly in our purpose...we are fighters...WE ARE QUEENS!

♫ So I'ma care for you, you, you. I'ma care for you, you, you, you, yeah ♫ - The Weeknd

♫ Tell me who's gon' save me from myself? When this life is all I know! Tell me who's gon' save me from this hell? Without you, I'm all alone! Who gon' pray for me? Take my pain for me? Save my soul for me? 'Cause I'm alone, you see ♫ - The Weeknd

VIBE:

♫ Who need a hero? (Hero) You need a hero, look in the mirror, there go your hero! Who on the front lines at ground zero? (Hero) My heart don't skip a beat, even when hard times bumps the needle ♫ - Kendrick Lamar

♫ Mass destruction and mass corruption... The souls of sufferin' men... Clutchin' on deaf ears again, rapture is comin'... It's all prophecy and if I gotta be sacrificed for the greater good... Then that's what it gotta be.. Who gon' pray for me? Take my pain for me? Save my soul for me? 'Cause I'm alone, you see... ♫ - Kendrick Lamar
