Black Is Beautiful |
| «They put their club upside your head |
| And then turn around and accuse you of attacking them |
| Every case of police brutality against a Negro follows the same pattern |
| They attack you, bust you all upside your mouth |
| And then take you to court and charge you with assault |
| What kind of democracy is that?» |
| Uh, although it’s uncertain times I still smile |
| Social injustice and racial profile |
| Forty acres and a mule |
| Black history should be a mandatory class in school |
| Strong-minded, solid like granite |
| We the most forgiving human beings on the planet |
| They the raped the men in our family in front of wives |
| Tried to make us look weak in front of our kids, dehumanize |
| And our leadership hella devil-sent |
| Got in the White House by trolling our only Black president |
| Evil, evil, evil |
| Brainwashed our people, say, «What Obama do for Black people?» |
| Me personally, I wanna fade |
| Fell out with so-called friends 'cause they drunk the Kool-Aid |
| They whipped us and hung us up on a tree |
| Lit us on the fire so the community could see |
| (Black is beautiful) Black is beautiful |
| (Set our warriors free) Set our warriors free |
| (Black is beautiful) Black is beautiful |
| (Set our warriors free) Set us free |
| It’s crazy how my beautiful skin |
| Could get me strapped up, strung up, swung in the wind |
| Tasered, maced, and cuffed, arm under my chin |
| Kneeled on, wheeled on, call for mama again |
| Dragged from the back of a pick-up for people to see |
| K-9 that bite down, now there’s flesh in their teeth |
| Douse me in gas, burn the ash and left in the streets |
| And even then, some white folk’ll take a picture with me |
| My beautiful skin could also get me thrown on a boat |
| Live by the flow, my name, chain, culture revolt |
| Pray to the heavens 'cause hell on earth is all that I know |
| My skin made it where I got nowhere to go |
| When my people were trying to escape, they either killed or they capture us |
| And now they got the nerve to tell me «Go back to Africa» |
| African-American, my ancestors died for it |
| So fuck them racist motherfuckers, I’ma ride for it |
| Black is beautiful |
| (Black is beautiful) Black is beautiful |
| (Set our warriors free) Set our warriors free |
| (Black is beautiful) Black is beautiful |
| (Set our warriors free) Set us free |
| Black is god, black is beautiful to me |
| Behold the shine, set our warriors free |
| (Set our warriors free) |
| Black is god, black is beautiful to me (Uh) |
| Behold the shine, set our warriors free |
| (Set our warriors free) |
| (Black is beautiful) Black is beautiful |
| (Set our warriors free) Set our warriors free |
| (Black is beautiful) Black is beautiful |
| (Set our warriors free) Set us free |
