I am a woman,
Proudly Strong Black Woman,
A bouquet of beauty,
And Spring of Knowledge.
Knowledge of the past and the future
See, I know the ancient and the modern
I am good at the horn and the telephone
I can make sound magic with both of them
Because I am a woman, proudly Strong Black Woman.
Do not be deceived by my sharp intonation
Brother, my small, soft, silk fingers should not blind you
See, these my feminine fingers will out race your masculine hands
They will outpace you on a White man’s keyboard
I tell you I am a lioness with these Western machines
Because I am a woman, proudly Strong Black Woman
My womanly hands are a blend of tough and tender
See they were shaped by the hoe and the heat of a kitchen pot
But they can still sooth a baby to sleep
Now you know I can handle the soft click of the mouse
Yet I can still score with the heavy duty camera
For technology came with no gender label
The change from the West was neither male nor female
It was simply adoptable, so I adopted
Because I am a woman, proudly Strong Black Woman.
