Representation

When seeing two sistas transform tennis, then
More black women will win at Wimbledon
A man defying gravity, on his back is 23
And the bigots said it would be his life expectancy

Seeing nurses, physical therapists, physicians
All in my family gave me dreams of ascension
Soldiers and sailors, sacrificing their lives and saving others
But treated like a stepchild because they were brothers

I go to the movies and see a mirror
Miles swings through trial and error
And whether you prefer legacy or new
You see a hero and know that can be you
