Black Shadows aren't African Americans
Beautiful shades of brown
Coffee to Sienna
Umber to Brunette
Tawny to Russet
Beautiful shades of brown
Yet seen and treated like a black silhouette in town
Are we a shadow to a Caucasian man?
Who made that plan?
Whoever made it, is wrong and it's not true
I stand by this as long as the sky is blue
Nobody is a slave to someone's shadow as they walk
We aren't nobodies, we're humans who can speak your language and talk
Born beautiful and free
That's how it's suppose to be
For us and everyone
That's the only way we can all live peacefully under the sun
So stop discriminating and treat people equally and fair
We can all enjoy eachother's company under the sun and feeling the cool breeze of air
