Black Man
' Black Man'
They called you 'Black'man
And you answered
You never knew the meaning
And till now you are answering
Are you really 'Black'?
Have you ever thought about the word 'Black'?
Do you know the truth behind the word 'Black'
Do you know that you were never called a 'Black'man
Until you were forcefully colonized?
Do you know that the word 'Black' was originally originated from the the opposite color man's language?
Can you tell me why the color 'Black is never used for good?
Can you tell me why is the devil always portrayed as 'Black'?
And the Angel as 'White' ?
Did your God ever said you are 'Black'?
Face the truth
They have covered you in total darkness
And tie you in confusion
Until you deny that name
That name they've given to you
You shall remain their 'Black Man'
Their slave
Never shall they listen to you
Because they know very well
That they have covered your greatness
With just one word~ 'Black'
And when that day comes
When you realize that you are 'GREAT'MAN not 'BLACK'MAN
You shall be free again
Find yourself a better name
