A Rap Influenced by Marian Anderson
We never thought we’d see the day,
where black women would have a say
we were working behind the scenes
But in public we went unseen
our voices were never heard
But then it was Marian’s turn
Using activism, talent and style
Women like Marian went the extra mile
Fighting segregation, patriarchy, and discrimination
Other women followed her determination
