EL BENTLY 448 - K.A.M.A.L.A.

And to everyone here
It is so good to be with you
To the former presidents who are in attendance
To the International Board of Directors
And to all
Of the fine members
Of Zeta Phi Beta
Sorority
Incorporated.
Ya see the truth never dies like Leon
Finally free I'm
Still in my prime like Dion
Me I'm something like a phenomenon
Like Obama was
Presidential like K.A.M.A.L.A.
You think you just fell out of a coconut tree? (Chuckles)
You exist in the context
Of all in which you live and
What came before you.
Last I checked
President K.A.M.A.L.A.
She is black
With roots way in India
These are facts
Even that started from Africa
We all immigrants
Over here in America
Our vote got power
Just ask Stacey Abrams
Our country needs change
Not somebody chasing famous
The love of a woman
Is the strength of a nation
The first women for president
Stand in ovation
Since we all came from a woman
Got a name from a woman
And I love from a woman
(Standing ovation)
Vote
Since we all came from a woman
Got her name from a woman
And I love from a woman
(Standing ovation)
Vote
No matter if you're black or white
Yellow or brown
Anything is possible
Our time is now
(Standing ovation)
I say everything
Anything is possible
Don't believe me?
Okay, ask K.A.M.A.L.A
(Standing ovation)
So, with all of the knowledge that you know now,
That would you say to your ten year old self about pursuing your dream?
Um. I would say,
Don't you hear no
That it can't be done
Or nobody like you has done it,
Or oh, you're too young,
Or oh, they're not ready for you
Don't hear no,
Because you know my thing
I eat no for breakfast.
We like that
(Chuckles)
Yes!
Hmm hmm
We like that
(Chuckles)
Yes!
(Standing ovation)
Since we all came from a woman
Got a name from a woman
And I love from a woman
(Standing ovation)
Vote
Since we all came from a woman
Got her name from a woman
And I love from a woman
(Standing ovation)
Vote
Across our nation,
we are witnessing a full-on assault
on hard-fought,
hard-won
freedoms and rights.
The freedom to vote
The freedom to be safe from gun violence
The freedom to live
Without fear of bigotry and hate
The freedom to love who you love
Openly and with pride
The freedom to learn
And acknowledge
Our true and full history
And the freedom
Of a woman to make decisions
About her own body
And not have her government
Telling her what to do.
