i am black


i am black and beautiful

i am black, rich colors of Africa

Black is the aching backs, swollen feet, and aching hearts of Africa

WE are black queens, thou hast giving color to the world!

Goddesses of Africa, thou art the fairest?

I am black, the color of my ancestors, my heritage

Black is Pride 

I am Pride

I am the face of Mother Africa, we are her children of color

Black is passion

I am passion

Black is different

I am different

Black isnt just know for spliting backs

Black is strong

Black is sweet song

I am black, I will always be

Black is me proud to be
