The world will judge you

But God knows your heart

Black prayers from past years gon' settle in

God is readin' the letters that we been mailin' in

Melanin skin deep, they like to meddle in

And put they knife to our wound, sharp on the metal end

Metaphorically speakin', I'm at a world peace

I met a girl who was weepin' and made her pearl cheeks glisten

But no one listen, her curled kinks cover her brilliant mind

Resilient kind, adapted, chameleon find

Fillin' linеs with lyrics, still couldn't do justice when touchin' her spirit

Bеcause she function from an unction, good luck with appearance

The surface ain't just where her worth is

'Cause her perseverance made it work when it didn't

Walked the Earth with a vengeance

Chocolate Hersheys, goddess with posture defyin' the physics

Of gravity, how she still laugh when her people were pillaged

But from the steeple and the mountain top, Jack

She still gon' say it proudly, "I'm black"

Don't cry brother, it's okay to be black

And don't cry baby, it's okay to be black

Get up my son, nothing can hold you back

And don't cry children, it's okay to be black

Shine, shine (Shine), you're bautiful inside (Yeah)

Hey, rise up, rise up, don't you know you can fly?

Lookin' at this generation feelin' hopeless

Lookin' cross my shoulder, keep my eyes open

Keep my mind focus, ain't no hocus-pocus

'Cause when it's all said and done, they will all know us

Tryna bring us down, keep us at our lowest

You thought you broke us, ha-ha, but you woke us

Be a leader, not a follower, a modern day Moses

I'm the water to the seeds that become roses

Black and beautiful (Black)

Head to my cuticles, darkness is what I'm movin' through (Black)

They want my eyes wide shut, that's just the usual (Black)

How have I not died yet?

They tryna take my neck and put that shit through a noose

Black on black on black, black on black, black, my skin is so black

Black don't crack, that's why they gave us crack, now look where we at

Once I get some reperation racks, watch how I react

Keep that income tax, I need forty acres in the pack

Don’t let no one put you down

Let me see your smile (Let me see your smile)

Don't cry brother, it's okay to be black (It's okay)

And don't cry baby, it's okay to be black

Get up my son, nothing can hold you back

And don't cry children, it's okay to be black

Shine, shine (Shine), you're bautiful inside

Rise up, rise up (Hey), don't you know you can fly?

Shine, shine, you're bautiful inside

Shine, shine, you're bautiful inside

Shine, shine, you're bautiful inside

Shine, shine, you're bautiful inside
