Unapologetically Black
Clap your hands wit me now
Let me see those hands say yeah, say yeah
This is for my people
If you don't understand this, this is not for you
Wanna hear it, hear we go
Why does my blackness offend you
Why does my skin tone threaten you
Why does this melanin make me less than you
You hate us when we're standing in our truth
Black people you gotta be true to you
Let your hair hang down, Let it kink up too
Let that skin glow right, glisten off of you
Melanin shines bright this is how we do
Why is my natural hair too much to endure
My lips are big and full so I can speak for (my people)
My nose wide as the skies
Been trying bring us down but we still fight
My fire is dominant, yet you want to stifle it
Determination's obvious, yet you want to oppress it
Blood still bleeds red, don't treat us like we're less than
Got black boy joy and that black girl magic
Unapologetically, Unapologetically,
Unapologetically, Unapologetically,
Unapologetically, Unapologetically,
Unapologetically, Unapologetically Black
Yeah, Yeah, Ohhhhh Yeah, Yeah
They know the power that we possess
I guess that's why they fear us at our best
We came from kings and Queens
Finest things you would ever see (We're royalty)
It's evident they hate us lit (we lit)
They don't wanna see us win (we winning)
Make sure not to give in
To that cognitive dissonance
You hate us but you love us that you try to be like us (be like us)
Fake reinventions of what's been true to us (true to us)
We weren't included so we had to create our own (create our own)
Something about our hue, call us the originals
My fire is dominant, yet you want to stifle it
Determination's obvious, yet you want to oppress it
Blood still bleeds red, don't treat us like we're less than
Got black boy joy and that black girl magic
Promoting self-love for generations to come
It's not about exclusions, this is our celebration
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Ohhhhh Yeah, Ohhhhh yeah, yeah, yeah
From black America
To the whole damn diaspora
Think generationally, so we can build legacies (legacies)
Got exceptional creativity
Intelligence and knowledge in close proximity
Cause they hate us when we love on us
We need to build this for us
So, this is for my ns hey
Yeah, yeah, Ohhhh yeah, Ohhhhh yeah
Let me see those hands say yeah, say yeah
This is for my people
If you don't understand this, this is not for you
Wanna hear it, hear we go
Why does my blackness offend you
Why does my skin tone threaten you
Why does this melanin make me less than you
You hate us when we're standing in our truth
Black people you gotta be true to you

Unapologetically, Unapologetically,
Unapologetically, Unapologetically,
Unapologetically, Unapologetically,
Unapologetically, Unapologetically Black
