BLACK

God didn't make a mistake when he made us,
yet they try to arrange us.
Like a room when they are looking for something new,
But we are not objects to get treated as property.
Only looking at the surface,
As if our greatest treasures aren't within.
But I guess they are ignorant to the melanin.
As they use colored to mock us,
Yet their souls are tainted,
Painted.
Black as coal as they say,
As it only burns on command.
Cause they never learned to love themselves.
So they treat others with the hate they have for themselves.
Never understanding true beauty,
And it's a shame,
Cause God don't like ugly.
Yet like crabs in a bucket they try to bring us down,
While we look in the mirror,
They turn off the lights.
Screaming bloody Mary,
As they try to take our innocence,
When we've always looked up to Mary.
Never liking to see our light,
But God lives within us.
Our happiness is something we can't let them have.
Don't let your soul be tainted.
Painted.
Black as coal as they say.
So if we want to be blessed with presents of the presence.
Continue to be good people,
And love unconditionally.
Never expecting trophies in return.
And when they try to say our ranking,
By the amount of melanin our epithelial holds.
Tell them our worth is not about quantity, but quality.
And our beauty is beyond measures.
So there are no rulers or tapes.
Because we are more than that size 17 Benard,
And longer than the longest yard.
So don't let your mind be tainted,
Painted.
Black as coal, or so they say.
But when did black become so bad?
Teaching us that our people are nothing more than destruction.
When my people practiced unity and peace.
Black represents strength, passion,
All purpose and masterpieces.
As Martin Luther King, Harriet, Susan, Rosa and many more,
Led the way for my president to be a black man.
Black is structure, hope, hard working.
They say black is bad,
Yet less likely to be of filth.
So if black is so bad in this country,
Then white has turned to beige.
Tainted, Painted.
