They wanna kill me cause I'm BLACK, but they can't kill me cause I'm BLACK
I'm every color on the palette
My footprints the first to ever step on a map and I know where I began so I over stand where I'm at
I'm your highness, the highest title, numero uno
You can't degrade me, can't deflate me. You still segundo
You will not push me out of my circle. This ain't sumo
My culture is universal from the third rock to pluto Influential
Was instrumental in the development of anything relevant that advanced our intelligence
Created from the elements. Birthed from the Earth
It's a cycle, time lapse, I'll return to the dirt
Black is beautiful, Black is Proud, Black is Power, Black is courage, Black is life
Not death, not fear, not weak, not ashamed, not ugly
Don't believe what they saying. Now say this
I am Beautiful, I am Proud, I am Powerful, I'm Courageous, I am Life
I'm NOT death, NOT afraid, NOT weak, NOT ashamed, NOT ugly
I don't believe what you saying
BLACK is Greatness
Police got targets on our backs
The hood got targets on our heads. The courts got numbers on our life
The system want us locked away or dead
Equal employment laws says they can't discriminate. So they hire us
Slip up then they fire us. Same way they did in the past, after they tied us up
Strange fruits burning in them trees
Now we burning down they buildings, we already took our knees
Now we standing up and riding for what we believe
Can't kill us all, this ain't bout death, why fear what you can't change
This ain't bout no campaign. Baby before we go, put some respect on our damn names
Turn the whole world like Cali. Look at them damn flames
Black is beautiful, Black is Proud, Black is Power, Black is courage, Black is life
Not death, not fear, not weak, not ashamed, not ugly. Don't believe what they saying. Now say this
I am Beautiful, I am Proud, I am Powerful, I'm Courageous, I am Life
I'm NOT death, NOT afraid, NOT weak, NOT ashamed, NOT ugly
I don't believe what you saying
BLACK is Greatness
I just want to leave you sisters and brothers with these last words
If I am not for myself, who will be? If I am for myself alone, who am I?
If not now, when? And if not you, who Who! Who
We need an Undying Love for Black People wherever We may be
ALL POWER TO THE PEOPLE, ALL POWER TO THE PEOPLE
ALL POWER TO THE PEOPLE
ALL POWER TO THE PEOPLE
ALL POWER TO THE PEOPLE
ALL POWER
