Mfumukazi
Mfumukazi
Wear your crown
Mfumukazi, don't ever let it weigh you down
Mfumukazi, Mfumukazi speak your mind
If you're the Sun no one can ever really steal your shine
[First Poem]
Who am I to define what you worth is
for I am just a man who see's no further than the surface
See beauty is one thing but you have a bigger purpose
In this world you were made for more than child birthing
Who I am to say that you can not go and inspire change
Who am I to try confine you when you weren't meant to be contained
Who am I to say me and you don't deserve equal pay
Who am I to ever say that a woman should know her place
Who am I to force myself on you and pressure you to hook up
To say your stomach should be flat when I can barely do a pushup
To tell you how to dress when it's my pants I gotta pull up
To say that I'll make the money while you clean the house and cook up
Who am I to ever judge how good the makeup on your face is
To tell you how to dress a body I play no part in creating
To tell you how to keep hair I play no part in maintaining
Who am I to say what female beauty is like I made it
Who am I to say dark isn't beautiful and you should listen
To say you've been with too many men when I've been with as many women
To call you all sorts of names like it's any of my business,
To sum it all let me define my position
See I am just a man not superior but equal
I was made to lead with you I was never made to lead you
I am a just man and nothing I say can define you
I wasn't meant to stand in your way but I was made to stand beside you
Now let's go back to the beginning
Take this poem and we flip it
Where I said who am I say say who are you
Where I said I say you and every woman should begin to speak her truth like
[Poem 2]
Who are you to define what my worth is
For you are just a man who see's no further than the surface
See beauty is one thing but I have a bigger purpose
In this world I was made for more than child birthing
Who are you say that I can not go and inspire change
Who are you to try confine me when I wasn't meant to be contained
Who are you to say me and you don't deserve equal pay
Who are you to ever say that a woman should know her place
Who are you to force yourself on me and pressure me to hook up
To say my stomach should be flat when you can barely do a pushup
To tell me how to dress when it's your pants you gotta pull up
To say that you'll make the money while I clean the house and cook up
Who are you to ever judge how good the makeup on my face is
To tell me how to dress a body you played no part in creating
To tell me how to keep hair you play no part in maintaining
Who are you to say what female beauty is like you made it
Who are you to say dark isn't beautiful and I should listen
To say I've been with too many men when you've been with as many women
To call me all sorts of names like it's any of your business,
To sum it all let me define your position
See you are just a man not superior but equal
You were made to lead with me you were never made to lead me
You weren't meant to stand in my way but you were made to stand beside me
A real man isn't threatened by the purpose of a queen
But an insecure man will destroy it by any means
A woman who knows her worth is the type of woma you need
A woman who follows when necessary but a woman who also leads
[Outro]
So

If you're the Sun no one can ever really steal your shine.
