Phillis Wheatley by ReignValdez Lyrics
Intro:
In seventeen fifty three Phillis Wheatley was born in west Africa
But at seven years old she moved to America
As a slave
While serving for the Wheatley's
Mary Wheatley taught Phillis with her studies, and thats how she started writing poems
Seventeen sixty seven she travelled to London and published her first poem
She met big names like Benjamin Franklin, George Washington, even the King of England wanted to meet her
Phillis Wheatley, the queen of poetry
Phillis Wheatley, no one can stop her
That's Phillis Wheatley
But some people said that a black girl can never write so well
She had to convince a group of lawyers, lieutenants, governors
The list goes on and on
She was so legit
Who wrote one hundred and forty five poems, no doubt about that
Some people fought with knives but Phillis fought with a pen
Phillis Wheatley, the queen of poetry
Phillis Wheatley, no one can stop her
That's Phillis Wheatley
Her words will always be remembered because she is a original star
