I am black and proud! Oh Yes.
I will sing it loud all years.
Black is my skin calling.
Out of black love you will never see me falling.
...
Behind my brows are horror scenes
Each blink am drifted in oblivion deep
In the fear archives within my genes
As cold trepidations in my heart creep
...
We came clad in white suits,
With crocodile skin made boots
Alongside a funky dressed lady each,
For bravery during the time of speech.
...
Death is ok only if
It creeps and seizes abruptly
Snipping down on prey
Like hawk on loose fowl
...
So you taught me to fly
You taught me to buy
Using cash you call money
The exchange we did in trade
...
