Intro: Drop… Uhh

Chorus:
Black is beautiful brilliant black is resilient black is appealing, Black as black as the Oil rich as the feeling of black sea but its deeper than black. Its deep but its deeper than black. (It’s so deep)

Verse 1:
I used to always adjust the light on my skin when I taking a pic. Fascinated with light skin women chasing the wigs. I was a few shades deeper than most. My nappy hair and black fist pic patted always keeping it low. I was the butt to all your dark skin jokes. Had me like damn why I got this dark skin for?  I was taught that light was beautiful and every dark was ugly.  Told to stay indoors cuz you know you get darker when it’s sunny. Brushed it off like it was funny thinking money solves it. Wore all designer clothes. Superficial caught in all it
Scarring my mental Self-hatred drawn Pardon my pencil. Following stencils. Tracing each step was sort of sequential. How could I grow? Immature and loud on my own even caught myself saying what I wouldn’t condone….. Like “you so pretty for a dark skin girl” my cousin hated how they separated beauty citing color or tone. Cuz black is beauty, Nubian goddesses draped in rubies and duly deserving truly emerging stand with a purpose superb and imperfectly perfect God draft the body in cursive. Wondering purpose deeper than skin shown on the surface aye

Chorus:
Black is beautiful brilliant black is resilient black is appealing, Black as black as the Oil rich as the feeling of black sea but its deeper than black. Its deep but its deeper than black. (It’s so deep)

Verse 2:
I'm as African as they come, son of Sierra Leoneans, black as tar on the lungs of a 90 year old chain smoker! A brave soldier can't help it it's in my blood. Descendant of Sir Samuel Lewis the beloved
The chosen one. Voice of the youth I'm raising and molding them. Coaching them. Weather the storm I march toe and toe wit them.  For all of them ashamed of their culture now as I was. Embrace it at the end of the day it really defines us. Cuz
Black is beauty nappy happy phenomenal powerful with a vision the rarest of precious jewelry. This for the ignorant always poking they fun just lost in their misconception they judged me but never knew me. Cuz black is beauty. Nubian goddesses draped in rubies and duly deserving truly emerging stand with a purpose  superb and imperfectly perfect God draft the body in cursive. Wondering purpose deeper than skin shown on the surface aye
