I am not a minus in a crowd I am noticed and appreciated.
Because of my blackness.
My features are solid; my hair is full-grown. 
I have sweetness in my lips that will make a man moan. 
Because of my blackness.

I do not need a mask of a different shade. 
I was born chocolate pudding beautiful 
and grew to be dark olive brown. 
Because of my blackness.

My love is a luxury it will spoil an addict. 
My profile is tight 
Some may consider me to be dy-no-mite. 
Because of my blackness.

I work hard towards my goals 
and I am determined to carry victory. 
My ideas are broadcasted and I am rewarded for my efforts. 
Because of my blackness.

Black is beautiful and it goes skin deep. 
If a statue could be built of me it would never fall, 
in fact is would stand too tall. 
It would stand decades beyond us all. 
Because of my blackness.
