Black People, Don't Let Go

by Arthurine B Rice


Black people don't let go
hold on to your dreams and
fight just a little bit more.

Don't give up
for we have been blessed
to all who strive and struggle
you will receive success.

It's not an easy 
life to live 
so much of our love,pride 
and time we have had to give.

We are the greatest
people on this earth
let's stand together 
and thank GOD for our birth.

Black people don't let go
hold on to your dreams and
fight just a little bit more.

The struggle will be hard,
we can make it if we try
our ancestors brought us from
a long way,if you know history
you'll know how and why.

We've been beaten and
held back many times,
given the worst types of jobs,
made to stand last in lines.

Time has come to
stand first in lines
we must move forward and
no longer stand behind.

Don't be afraid to fight
with determination
we have the right
for we built this nation! 

So, to all Black people who
stuggle, I wish you good luck
but whatever you do,
remember, never give up!

Black people don't let go
hold on to your dreams and
fight just a little bit more!
