Black Is Beautiful
It's never the right time to say goodbye
It's never the right place to cry
Doesn't matter what way we fly
The world passes by
As we lose our lives, yeah
I can hear the cries of
A nation
The congregation of our hue
It isn't new
It isn't new
What you see in the news
Isn't our truth
It's time to change the way you look at me
The way you look at us
That's enough
Black is beautiful
Baby girl had reached for the stars
Now all that's left is a scar
Where the heart should be
Now her heart beats so far
That pains deep in me
It's the deepening of black hearts
No more stay aside
No more hiding pride
You will hear us
No more standing by
No more flashing lights
You will change up
It's time to change the way you look at me
The way you look at us
That's enough
Black is beautiful, oh, yes
Beautiful black butterflies
Floating higher than any sky, yeah
God watch over your people
Send down your spirit of love
And purge all the evil
Reveal what's in our blood
True kings and queens we are
Time to take back what's ours
All my people
Rise
It's time to change the way you look at me
The way you look at us
That's enough
Black is beautiful
Black is beautiful
Oh, ooo
Black is beautiful
Black is beautiful
Black's so beautiful
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Oh, ooo
Yeah, yeah
Ooo
You are beautiful
It's never the right place to cry
Doesn't matter what way we fly
The world passes by
As we lose our lives, yeah
I can hear the cries of
A nation
The congregation of our hue
It isn't new
It isn't new
What you see in the news
Isn't our truth
It's time to change the way you look at me
The way you look at us
That's enough
Black is beautiful
Baby girl had reached for the stars
Now all that's left is a scar
Where the heart should be
Now her heart beats so far
That pains deep in me
It's the deepening of black hearts
No more stay aside
No more hiding pride
You will hear us
No more standing by
No more flashing lights
You will change up
It's time to change the way you look at me
The way you look at us
That's enough
Black is beautiful, oh, yes
Beautiful black butterflies
Floating higher than any sky, yeah
God watch over your people
Send down your spirit of love
And purge all the evil
Reveal what's in our blood
True kings and queens we are
Time to take back what's ours
All my people
Rise
It's time to change the way you look at me
The way you look at us
That's enough
Black is beautiful
Black is beautiful
Oh, ooo
Black is beautiful
Black is beautiful
Black's so beautiful
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Oh, ooo
Yeah, yeah
Ooo
You are beautiful
