lyrics

[Verse 1: Borelson]
Black is Queen and Black is King
Black is Royalty, see the Majesty
Shiny, glowing, golden, gracefully
Black is brotherhood and sorority
MELANATED! Yes original
Peep the prototype, we got all the types
Eve gene been in these genes
Tight or loose, shapes in those jeans
Black is stylish, black is elegant
Drip Blacknificent, this so evident
Black is rooted yet futuristic
Animistic and optimystic
Black’s ethereal, universoul
We don’t die, we multiply
Black’s spiritual, so divine
You can tell it was by design
Black is rhythm AND the blues
The Soulful Jazz rocking in Hip-Hop
So expandable see us Pop
You? really can’t be in our shoes
Black is cool and black is hot
Black is rising, we don’t let up
Black is history, black is culture
We clearly see, all these vultures
Black is energy and abundance
Black is sacred, deep, connected
Not a monolith, stand corrected
Lose your mind, we stay collected
Black is excellent and resilient
Rich and litty, no need to fit in
Black is beautiful, proud and magical
.....
We know who we are
[Verse 2: Chantal Rose]
They don't wanna see us win
All because we got all this melanin
Embracing all the truth within
It’s all connected
Power to behold
Stories to be told
They’re lessons
If there is one thing for sure
They ain’t never gon’ take away our blessings
