Black wall street,
Wonderful place, wrong time.
You showed black excellence always had a time to shine.
Others hated to see you grind, so they destroyed
Years worth of time.
I wish you guys should shine once more,
But it’ll never be the same as once before.
I’m not sure if you guys will ever make it as big as once more,
But you’ll always have a special place in my heart and many others.
