Let me show you color:
colors unchained and set free.
Let me show you the color black:
without the influence of white.
Let me show you black-on-black:
minus the colors of crime.
Let me show you colorful children:
in beautiful shades of Louisiana brown,
& sugarcoated African-American.
Let me show you Jewels growing:
in East Point, Ga at Tri Cities High;
cultivated to grow like Diamonds at Dillard University,
that know that education is life's best instructor.
Let me show you Philly and colorful Atlantans:
from high places where one can fly;
like a Philadelphia Eagle,
or soar like an Atlanta Falcon.
Let me show you shades of America:
where blackmen & blackwomen,
are driven by colors of their ability,
and make an honest living.
Let me show you colors of black & beautiful:
that's not jim crowed or forced to sit;
segregated in designated places on the bus.
Let me honestly show you:
the African colors of;
the beautiful black You.
