You see this problackness surrounding me like a bubble,
That's my pride,You smell that erotic fruit on my chest,That's the sweetness in me,You see dudes howling and whistling at me,Yeah that's my confidence flying behind me,You think you higher power,Well let's see if that don't crack like my skin,Stupidity is such a waste,And I'm reading a book past your ignorance,I wave my Caribbean flag in the air for my pride,You wave your flag cuz that's what you hide behind from,You see them educated black folks lifting above the sky,That's my proud community in excellence,We live every night like the night is still young,My brotha over there graduating with a Science master's,My sista graduating with a law degree,Or my other sista working the pole to collect money for college institution,We make options from limited choices we're given,We are to superior in spirits to lose or fail,Which makes those who believe they can own us or slave us jealous and weak,I'm my color and gifted as ,Being black is life,And being hated upon is appetizing.
