Shing02 - Black is Beautiful lyrics

Black Is Beautiful Black is beautiful to me Wake up brethren Asian persuasion Black is beautiful to me Love Self sistren Asian persuasion Black is beautiful to me Respect brethren African persuasion Black is beautiful to me One Love sistren African persuasion Afro-centric music is the roots but Ever since birth I've wondered Who, what, when, which, how did we get to this place Island culture cultivate the race Faces, basic smiles speak a thousand words That go a million miles Until we realize that we gotta stay true Despite the lies, read between the lines And move forward Oh Lord Heritage manifest in the color of the mane of our men and women New born, blessed with natural melanin Living and shine like filaments Pitch black hair, rich black eyes Capture the rapture of mother nature Beyond Africa, Pan Pacifica, Antarctica to South America Health before wealth in the kingdom of righteous Fight until d**h do us part and I might just Travel to the depth of the heart of Atlantis Pledge to the state of the art so I plan this Expedition as my mission all the while Competition lose not knowing why Til the day I chill in the east of the River Nile Real sk**, real deal never go out of style yeah Who wanna test their blackness? Let me guess, fake jocks frontin' like Loch Ness Life blessed you to look the best When you're dressed with less but cover the rest Some kids with straight strands want dread locks Some girls with a fro want to straighten their chops It's all good we all grow out of it just like hair-do You gotta vibe and flow with it just like air do 'Round the globe youth carry the hope That one day everything's gonna be just fine now Press rewind to a world color blind Zero complex, find a space all mine I grew up on the East Coast, opposite of Ivory In the 21st, reckon economic slavery Beyond Africa, Latin America, through Jamaica back to Japonica Man and machine make the money that manipulate Mind over matter meaning make moves to motivate Before we globalize commercially We need to mobilize community to spread the music with mercy 'Cuz exploitation is the blast from the past Conversation help future visions last Til the day I fill the post I'm supposed to live by Real sk**, real deal never go out of style yeah Black is beautiful to me Respect all state, all color, all race Black is beautiful to me One love, one god, one mind, one heart INI, You and I, realize U-N-I-T-Y INI, You and I, realize U-N-I-T-Y Receive, Respect, Reflect Pa** it on, pa** it on, pa** it on Receive, Respect, Reflect Pa** it on, pa** it on, pa** it on
