UNAPOLOGETICALLY BLACK
I AM UNAPOLOGETICALLY BLACK
I love my brothas and sistas
My melatonin skin
I bask in its GLORYYYYYY
I AM UNAPOLOGETICALLY BLACK
I will not hide who I am
I will flaunt it in your face
Hold my head up high
Respond to you with Grace
I AM UNAPOLOGETICALLY BLACK
My sassiness
My wit
The way I speak so intelligently, clever, comprehending, creative, and deep
I am discerning, enlightened, exceptional
That's me
imaginative, ingenious,inventive, keen, knowledgeable, original, perspicacious, profound, understanding, well-informed
My mind is dangerous
Yet I can still get you together in 1 2 3
That black girl magic
You see me
I nurture my kings
I will bring them back to life
NO JUSTICE NO PEACE
together we will fight
Professional during the day and jazzy at night
I AM UNAPOLOGETICALLY BLACK
Recognize the QUEEN in me
My roots run deep
Bow down at my feet
Blood of my ancestors flow through me
Breed from Kings and Queens
You can't deny me
UNAPOLOGETICALLY BLACK
Never quit
I won't
Give up
I don't
Bow down
Not me
Head up
You see
My complexion is a badge of honor
I wear it with pride
UNAPOLOGETICALLY BLACK, brown,mocha, Carmel coated
You fear me because you say I am dangerous
My genes, my roots, my intellect, my ideas, my style, my beauty, my consciousness
I AM AWAKE
That scares you because you can no longer control me
I demand respect
I AM UNAPOLOGETICALLY unashamed,remorseless,unregretful,impudent,shameless, not sorry
BLACK
My boldness, My strength, the courage in me
I am
We are
I am
We are
I am
We are
UNAPOLOGETICALLY BLACK
