God save us from ourselves
keep our minds in check
Please show us our beauty
Teach us self respect
allow us to recognize all our gifts
and our blessin's
open our minds and share with us
one of your greatest lessons
we are perfect as we are
you have created a work of art
please help us begin a healing
perhaps it should form in the heart
our skin is like that of the earth
shades from dark to deep honey
what's crazy is that what were running from so hard
white people constantly pay lots of money
from the curl in our hair
to the fullness in our lips
it's in the roundness of our behinds
and the broad span of our hips
when you begin to doubt your worth
just remember it this way
we are much like the place that we are from
that place called AFRICA from which we come
from her ground comes our color
so rich and so strong
Just like her too
we were stolen and abused for way to long
from the DNA of an African you can create any race
and as we all know
AFRICA IS THE ORIGINAL BIRTH PLACE
So be proud of what your are
raise your head, don't be ashamed
embrace your self and one another
don't leave your heritage unclaimed
leave the bleaching cream alone
show off your pretty black skin
cause God created you as you are
and to deny it would truly be a
