Black Is Beautiful
Hmm-hmm, hmm-hmm
Whoa, whoa, whoa
Whoa, whoa, whoa, uh-uh
Cah wen yuh black is a big threat
Never see nothin' like this yet
Such a pretty brown skin, wen yuh see my melanin
Yuh better show some respect
They can contain me now
So, they wanna come change me now, oh
This a mental slavery, minimal bravery
Mi nuh see di fix yet
So, no, no, no, I won't lower my standards
So, watch mi fight for what's mine, who I am, I am proud of, whoa-oh
Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh
You won't be taking what's mine, I don't play by my culture, whoa
Out of many one people, we're all the same
Same color and blood flow through we vein
The strongest survive the human race
Only love will last along the way
Tell your children black is beautiful
To be alive is a whole lot of privilege
Education is the key to rule the world
You don't need to be white to be a pretty girl
Tell your children black is beautiful
And we naah guh beg for nuh privilege
