(This is one of my favorites)

We are black and we are beautiful
Who deserve more than accusations and constant funerals
We're young kings and queens not someone for you to beat
We deserve more than being gunned down in the middle of the street
We are black and we are beautiful
Who won't fuel your actions or give into your ridicule
We are all the same under all this skin
We are blood and bones but even with this we cannot win
But we will rise and grow in a way that might humor you
But we will rise simply because
We are black and we are beautiful
