My father's blood gave me my darkened skin.
But, mother's love was that which made me who I am.
Whatever I strive to achieve can actually be mine.
I'll have to work at it harder because of father's bloodline.

But, that ain't about nothing!  My mother's love is in me.
Combined with father's blood created the man you see.
I will not be hindered.  See the look on my face.
And, nothing is allowed to knock me off my pace.

I have ambitions and the grit to boot.
A mix of mom and dad and fortitude.
The way I see it, they go hand-in-hand.
Blood and love creates distinguished black men.
