They tried to keep me oppressed
But I left them behind to reach success
They tried to bring me down
But I continued fighting and didn’t drown
I persevered and won my crown
At they stare me down with eyes of hate
I sail on through and continue to elevate
As they assault me with the evil word
With deaf ears, I press on their voices unheard
As they lay before me traps and snares
I avoid those snares and return a smug stare
As they fake, hiding their incompetence
I relax and move freely with confidence
As they align to attack me in droves
Like a Phoenix I rise above with love
I soar with the eagles
They only crawl with the snakes
