This piece I call the "Black Woman's Eyes". Its about the plight of black women in the black community. The piece deals with being the head in a single parent home, the death of the male role in the house hold. For instance, a grandfather being hung in the deep south and a father being racially profiled being sent to prison unjustly. The black woman is very powerful in the inner-city yet she is looked down upon by even males in the community. She takes care of everyone and sees so much of the devastation of her community. Yet she remains the pillar of the community when the male part becomes absent. She bares the pain and persecution all in the same breath. Its kind of my tribute to black women like my mother and others. the lyrics would go:
If you could see in her eyes
Then you would see in her mind
All of the hurt remains in plenty
Lady don't worry your soul is what I see
