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
