Action

Out of sight with an Afro for days,
The ‘70s brought its greatest star.
Her beauty put her enemies in a daze
And made black folks feel proud of who we are.

She kicked ass while talkin’ shit
And showed that black was always cool.
She put out hit after hit
And smiled as she broke every rule.

When the ‘90s hopped in
They tried to say she was through.
But she came back to win
And Jackie made her brand new.

“Action” never needed to be said—
She was always in action.
Look at the women she led—
Now black and brown gains traction.
