The truth of the matter is,
There is nothing more beautiful
Than a black man.
Whether five-two or six-seven
Yellow fabulous or chocolate heaven
There is nothing more beautiful
Than a black man.
Long and lean
With deep brown eyes
Wavy-hair or dreds
With strong thick thighs.
There is nothing more beautiful
Than a black man.
Bald head with goatee,
Cornrows or a fade
A little thick, a little thin
Oh, the choices to be made
There is nothing more beautiful
Than a black man.
Scholarly or not
Wall Street or hip hop
I'll sing your praises
To the mountain top.
Head of home
Provider and love
Obedient son and loving brother.
There is nothing more beautiful
Than a black man.
A mighty protector you've proven to be
Sacraficing your life to keep me free
Working for crumbs when the table is bare
Praising the Lord, leading the family in prayer
There is nothing more beautiful
Than a black man.
Holding my hand when fear emerges
Remaining faithful, suppressing your urges
Proving your strength by turning the other cheek
Having high hopes when the situation is bleak
There is nothing more beautiful
Than a black man.
Treating me like the queen I was born to be
Never disrespecting, dishonoring, or disgracing me
Giving me credit when it is due
Oh, black man, how I honor you.
There is nothing more beautiful
Than a black man.
