Swope Farr is her name 

Mathematics is her game 

People didn’t believe in her 

Because of her race and gender 

But she believed in the God 

That was her D.O.D (Department of Defense) But God had different plans 

God kept her in his hands 

… to succeed 

She started to read 

There was an advisor that believed 

In her while she was praying 

And obeying 

God was repaying 

And slaying the 

… devil 

Now Telashay is a disciple of God 

And she has a squad of girls that want to be like HER.
