To Areefa

Sista you gave me soul
Sista you gave me groove
Sista you gave me rhythm

You showed me what it meant to be a strong woman
You showed me what it meant to be a proud woman

You gave a six year old enough sass to last a life time
You gave me the power to speak my fame,
to live my dream,
to never let a man do what a woman was born to do

Because we were born to sing the blues
Lift our spirits higher
And make the world remember who we are

Thank you sista-
for giving me soul
