My Black is Beautiful

My Black is Beautiful

We've been taught to hate who we are cause the color of our skin

aint worth a dam! But I'm here to school you so don't let them fool you

cause the darker the berry the sweeter the juice

My Black is Beautiful, my black is gold.

My Black is precious and not a minuet sold

James told us to say it loud were black were beautiful and proud

In the words of Donny that's Hathaway stay beautiful gifted and Black

My Black is Beautiful, my black is gold.

My Black is precious and not a minuet sold

Our Beauty is in our soul

never let it grow old

we built it long ago

So stand up and be bold.

My Black is Beautiful, my black is gold.

My Black is precious and not a minuet sold
