Black is GOLD
I don't just say it to say it
I genuinely mean it
You see.. your skin is rich
You are worth more than gold, shit
but if I needed to compare it to something, it is gold
it is bold
I must encourage my brothers and my sisters
I'm getting tired of these negative opinions, wanna be ministers
Black is black, true
but that don't make you worth any less boo
Black symbolizes power
that pig that shot our brother is a coward
we make them feel like we're in control
so they get jealous by our role
and kill us
they'd rather take our lives than stand up to us
girl, you are beautiful
brother, you are useful
more useful than moving someone's dope
these underachivements you must not cope
you must not accept the statistics
of how you all are no good and don't know how to treat chicks
You are kings,
you must treat women like queens
you both are worth trillions baby
ain't no if, ands or maybe
fix ya crown and remind yourself of your worth
you are valuable but you can't be bought
this is a lesson that should have been taught
your melanin is enriched with the vitamins of the sun
a sun girl, as shiny as the coconut oil in your bun
from your natural hair to your 24 inch weaves
you're skin came from the source that employs the bees
you are earth, wind and fire fine
you are strong, sit back and recline
Relax, and stop worrying bout whether lightskin or darkskin winning
we are ALL winning
we are superior
our power is confined and locked away, ulterior
But they won't be able to hold us back forever
Shine on Black Queens and Black Kings,
ENDEAVOUR
