Look
Black
is
beautiful
black
is
excellent
Black
is pain
black
is joy
black
is evident
It's
working
twice
as hard as
the people
you know
you're
better than
'Cause
you
need to do
double
what they do
so
you can
level them
Black
is
so much
deeper
than just
african-american
Our
heritage
been severed
you
never
got to
experiment
With
family trees
'cause
they
teach you
about famine
and
greed
And
show you
pictures
of our
fam
on their knees
Tell us
we
used to be
barbaric
we
had
actual queens
Black
is watching
child soldiers
getting killed
by other
children
Feeling
sick,
like
shit,
this
could have happened
to me
Your mummy
watching
telling stories
about
your dad
and
your niece
The blacker
the berry
the sweeter
the juice
A kid
dies
the blacker
the killer
the sweeter
the news
And
if
he's white
you
give him a chance
he's ill and confused
If
he's black
he's probably armed
you see him
and
shoot
Black
is
growing up
around
the barbershop
Mummy
saying
stay away from
trouble
you're
in yard a lot
Studying
for ages
appreciating
the chance
you got
'Cause
black
is in
your blood
and
you
ain't even
got the heart
to stop
Black
is
stepping in for
your mother
because
your father's gone
And
standing by
your children
when you haven't
proven karma wrong
Black
is
doing
all of the above
then
going
corner shopping
Trying to
help
a
lady
cross the road
to
have
her
walking off
Black
is
growing up
around
your family
and
making it
Then
being forced to
leave
the place
you love
because
there's
hate
in it
People
say
you
fake
the
shit,
never
stayed
to
change
the shit
But
black
is being
jealous
you'd be
dead
if
you
had stayed
in it
Black
is
struggling
to find
your history
or
trace the shit
You
don't know
the truth
about your race
'cause
they
erasing it
Black
has got
a
sour
fucking
flavour,
here's
a taste of
it
But
black
is
all
I
know
there
ain't a thing
that
I
would change
in it
Look,
black
ain't just
a
single fucking
colour,
man there's
shades to it
Her
hair's
straight
and
thick
but
mine's
got
waves
in it
Black
is not
divisive,
they
been lying
and
I
hate
the shit
Black
has never been
a
competition,
we
don't make
this
shit
Black
is
deadly
Black
is when
you're freezing
in your home
And
you
can't get
sleep
but
never feeling
empty
'Cause
you got
twenty cousins
in your country
living
stress-free
Walking
for their
water
daughter
wrapped
inside
a
bed sheet
Black
is
distant
It's
representing
countries
That
never
even existed
while
your grandmother
was living
Black
is my
Ghanaian
brother
reading into
scriptures
Doing research
on his
lineage
finding out
that
he's
Egyptian
Black
is people
naming
your countries
on
what they trade
most
Coast of
Ivory
Gold Coast
and
the grain coast
But
most importantly
to
show
how
deep
all this pain
goes
West Africa
Benin
they called it
slave coast
Black
is
so
confusing
'cause
the
culture
they're
in love with
it
They
take our
features
when they want
and
have
their
fun
with it
Never
seem to
help
with all
the things
we
know
would come
with it
Loud
in our
laughter
silent
in our
suffering
Black
is being
strong
inside
and
facing defeat
poverty
Made me a
beast
I
battled
the law
in the streets
We all
struggled
but
your struggle
ain't a struggle
like me
Well
how could it be
when
your people
gave us
the odds
that we beat
I
mean,
fucking
hell,
what about
our brothers
that are
stuck
in jail
That
couldn't
bust
a
bell
they
held
a
bird
and
gotta
live with it
Black
is being
guilty
until
proven that
you're innocent
Black
is
saying,
free
my
fucking
niggas
stuck inside
in prison cells
They
think
it's
funny
we
ain't got
nothing
to say to
them
Unconditional love
is
strange to them
it's
amazing them
Black
is like
the sweetest
fucking
flavour,
here's
a taste of
it
But
black
is
all
I
know
there
ain't a thing
that
I
would change
in it
