Black
Drop Uhh
Black is beautiful brilliant
Black is resilient black is appealing
Black as black as the oil rich as the feeling of black
Sea but its deeper than black
Its deep but its deeper than black
It's so deep
I used to always adjust the light on my skin when I taking a pic
Fascinated with light skin women chasing the wigs
I was a few shades deeper than most
My nappy hair and black fist pic patted always keeping it low
I was the butt to all your dark skin jokes
Had me like damn why I got this dark skin for
I was taught that light was beautiful and every dark was ugly
Told to stay indoors cuz you know you get darker when it's sunny
Brushed it off like it was funny thinking money solves it
Wore all designer clothes superficial caught in all it
Scarring my mental Self-hatred drawn Pardon my pencil
Following stencils tracing each step was sort of sequential
How could I grow immature and loud on my own
Even caught myself saying what I wouldn't condone
Like "you so pretty for a dark skin girl"
My cousin hated how they separated beauty citing color or tone
Cuz black is beauty Nubian goddesses
Draped in rubies and duly deserving
Truly emerging stand with a purpose
Superb and imperfectly perfect
God draft the body in cursive wondering purpose
Deeper than skin shown on the surface aye
Black is beautiful brilliant
Black is resilient black is appealing
Black as black as the oil rich as the feeling of black
See but its deeper than black
Its deep but its deeper than black
It's so deep
I'm as African as they come
Son of Sierra Leoneans
Black as tar on the lungs of a 90 year old chain smoker
A brave soldier can't help it it's in my blood
Descendant of Sir Samuel Lewis the beloved
The chosen one voice of the youth I'm raising and molding them
Coaching them weather the storm I march toe and toe wit them
For all of them ashamed of their culture now as I was
Embrace it at the end of the day it really defines us
Cuz Black is beauty nappy happy phenomenal
Powerful with a vision the rarest of precious jewelry
This for the ignorant always poking they fun
Just lost in their misconception
They judged me but never knew me
Cuz black is beauty Nubian goddesses
Draped in rubies and duly deserving
Truly emerging stand with a purpose
Superb and imperfectly perfect
God draft the body in cursive wondering purpose
Deeper than skin shown on the surface aye
Black is beautiful brilliant
Black is resilient black is appealing
Black as black as the oil rich as the feeling of black
See but its deeper than black
Its deep but its deeper than black
It's so deep
Black is beautiful brilliant
Black is resilient black is appealing
Black as black as the oil rich as the feeling of black
Sea but its deeper than black
Its deep but its deeper than black
It's so deep
