To cool my thirst
My oldest daughter is Nefertiti
The tears from my birth pains
Created the Nile
I am a beautiful woman
I gazed on the forest and burned
Out the Sahara desert
With a packet of goat's meat
And a change of clothes
I crossed it in two hours
I am a gazelle so swift
So swift you can't catch me
For a birthday present when he was three
I gave my son Hannibal an elephant
He gave me Rome for mother's day
My strength flows ever on
My son Noah built New/Ark and
I stood proudly at the helm
Referring to Carthaginian general  Hannibal Barca’s  invasion of Italy during the  second Punic War. 
 Carthage was famous in the ancient world for the use of elephants in its military. The speaker is positioning his/herself within a larger historical and social context about the history of the world in the attempts to give black people more credibility to being major forces in the development of the ancient and modern world.
