BEAUTY OF BLACK
By Adwowa Minus
BEAUTIFUL BLACK
SO DEEP AND SO PURE THEY CURSE YOUR SKIN AS IF IT'S POISON
REALLY, IT BE THE CURE
SO BLACK IT BE BLUE
SO BRAVE IT DON'T GET NO BRAVER
TO BE BLACK IN AMERICA
TO BE SO HATED
TO BE SO LOVED
SO CONFUSING
THE BLACK BEAUTY DON'T KNOW THE BEAUTY OF BLACK
DON'T KNOW THE POWER OF BLACK
DON'T KNOW THE HISTORY OF BLACK
DON'T KNOW THE HEALING OF BLACK
JUST KNOW SHE DON'T WANNA BE BLACK
EVEN THOUGH EVERYBODY WANNA BE BLACK
BECAUSE OF BEAUTIFUL BLACK SKIN
STRONGEST STRAND OF MELANIN
SKIN BE SHEDDING GOLD
I GOT THAT IMPECCABLE GLOW
I BE THE LIGHT
GIVING ALL TYPES OF LIFE
ANCESTORS GIVING ME CONFIDENCE
GOT THAT THIRD EYE CONSCIOUSNESS
CHAKRAS ALIGNED
MEDITATING WHEN THE SUNRISES
THANKING GOD FOR MY EXISTENCE
HEAVILY BLESSED TO BE DIPPED IN SKIN RESEMBLING AMBER
HEAVILY BLESSED TO BE BLACK EVEN IN AMERICA
