My black is beautiful
And there is nothing in me that is evil
My black is not synonymous to darkness
Look into my blackness and behold brightness
I have an unwavering consciousness of who I am
Self-aware of my innate abilities
I belong in a line of dynasties
Regardless of my height, I stand tall
No matter what they see through their lenses
I am a description of what excellence is
I don't crack
I lead the way, I create the tracks
I'm not from a dark world
I'm illumination in this shady world
Solution I am, dissolving any problem
I'm unstoppable... Greatness is my emblem
Opinions don't move me
I cruise my own boat
I love good clothings but
Melanin is my favorite coat
I'm a seed of greatness And that's what I'm going to sow My heart is clean and pure like the snow Yes I'm black, if I come to this life again, it shall be so
