BLACK with no Regret

 

 I'm Black With No Regret

And maybe my shoulders scream it too

Or maybe it's in our stride

And strong voice and afros

 

I'm Black With Some Regret

And my eyes scream it too

And My hips, I cannot hide

Ape-like, both hands and toes

 

I'm Black With All Regret

Though Martin Luther dreamed it too

That we'll one day stand with pride

To accept our great nose
