Black Beauty
A man must be strong to live long
Shake the negative vibe, try to stay alive
But I never said it would be easy
Living in a system that you can't win
But by the time you grow old and slow
Folks hardly want to say hello
But since we've got our pride, we'll survive
We believe in the black beauty
Shake the negative vibe, try to stay alive
Wherever you go, please remember
If you can't be good, be careful, be joyful, oh yeah
Oh, we've come a long way and still here
Been through all the stress
And all the strains and fears
But since we've got our pride, we'll survive
We believe in the black beauty
Shake the negative vibe, try to stay alive
Oh, wherever you go please remember
That Jah is on your side, try to stay alive
'Cause by the time you're old and slow
The system, they don't wanna see you, wanna see you
Wanna see you no more
But since we got our pride, we'll survive
'Cause we believe in the black beauty
Shake the negative vibe, try to stay alive
My brother, move on
And stand firm in your struggle
Hey, jump another hurdle, shed your burden
I might say it's easier said than done
Oh, but our race, our race is the hard one to run
But if you got your pride, you'll survive
If you believe in your black beauty
Shake the negative vibe, try to stay alive
A man must be strong to live long
Jump another hurdle, shed your burden
My black beauty inside gonna make me survive
Shake the negative vibe, try to stay alive
But I never said it would be easy
Living in a system that you can't win
But by the time you grow old and slow
Folks hardly want to say hello
But since we've got our pride, we'll survive
We believe in the black beauty
Shake the negative vibe, try to stay alive
Wherever you go, please remember
If you can't be good, be careful, be joyful, oh yeah
Oh, we've come a long way and still here
Been through all the stress
And all the strains and fears
But since we've got our pride, we'll survive
We believe in the black beauty
Shake the negative vibe, try to stay alive
Oh, wherever you go please remember
That Jah is on your side, try to stay alive
'Cause by the time you're old and slow
The system, they don't wanna see you, wanna see you
Wanna see you no more
But since we got our pride, we'll survive
'Cause we believe in the black beauty
Shake the negative vibe, try to stay alive
My brother, move on
And stand firm in your struggle
Hey, jump another hurdle, shed your burden
I might say it's easier said than done
Oh, but our race, our race is the hard one to run
But if you got your pride, you'll survive
If you believe in your black beauty
Shake the negative vibe, try to stay alive
A man must be strong to live long
Jump another hurdle, shed your burden
My black beauty inside gonna make me survive
