We’ve come from strong
And have forgotten what has gone
What has gone on before we sprouted
From our mothers womb
Ms. Lou
So beautiful and true
Many should and will pay respects to you
For you gave us a voice
And a ground to stand
Many of us today owe our fame to you
Our young are distressed
Speaking of words that utterly degrades women like you
A “ho” and a “bitch” is what they will say
Not knowing that you were the woman who paved the way
Your spirit was as old as mother
But your mind was of the future
Of the tomorrow that only God knows
So to you I shall thank when I stand before the world
Telling them I wouldn’t be here if it wasn’t for women like Ms. Lou
