| A man must be strong, to live long
|
| Shake the negative vibe, trying to stay alive
|
| But I never said it would be easy
|
| Living in a system that you can’t win
|
| But by the time you know and slow
|
| Folks hardly want to say hello
|
| But since we’ve got our pride we’ll survive
|
| We believe in the black beauty
|
| Shake the negative vibe trying to stay alive
|
| Wherever you go please remember
|
| If you can’t be good be careful be joyful
|
| Oh we’ve come a long way and still here
|
| Been through all the stress
|
| And all the stress and fears
|
| But since we’ve got our pride
|
| We’ll survive we believe in the black beauty
|
| Shake the negative vibe trying to stay alive
|
| Wherever you go please remember
|
| That Jah is on your side trying to stay alive
|
| Cause by the time you go and slow
|
| The system didn’t wanna see you wanna see you
|
| Wanna see you no more but since we got our pride
|
| We believe in the black beauty
|
| Shake the negative vibe trying to stay alive
|
| My brother move on And stand firm in your struggle
|
| Jumping all the hurdle shed your burden
|
| I might say it’s easier said than done
|
| Oh but our race is a hard race to run
|
| But if you got your pride you’ll survive
|
| If you believe in your black beauty |
