Black man
Beauty loyalty and creative Knowledge
that's how my black skin shines brightest
amongst them all
As they tell us white lies hoping my race will fall
Im proud to as black as the night
Until we are all free my people will fight
We will never forget but honor the one 's that died
Bully me,shame me in a crowed were thousand watch
But my spirit will never break even through they tried
Call me blackface during the day like the moon
But at night my black skin shines brighter than all the stars.
