im black


I'm black

Yes that's right my skin shall not lie I'm black but I'm beautiful head lifted to the sky all stand here as witnesses as my words float high up into the sky black and beautiful am I

Yes I'm black and I'm beautiful tall no but my words elevate me past all scales on earth if they tried ...all try to open their mouths in lies slandering me but I still hols my head high with my pride intack...

Yes its true the things u heard but the past is always that just the past to bring it into this here future would all be just absurd....so....

I'm black and beautiful pride everywhere I walk yes I listen to the talk but what they say what they murmur does not effect me my pride my name my life my ways all protect me from the harm in this cruel world my color still intack even after all these dangerous conditions....so..
We who r black r a body a people we all r one we shall strive survive and preside together like we r one cuz we r ...so..
We are black and beautiful pride in all we do...
In the end just remember what u say does not hurt us but it only hurts you... 
We r black and beautiful...
Yes we r ...we r strong we move and live on...
