Back to back Back to black You can't hide who you are in a flock of sheep when you're the only black one You can't deny your roots because black is embedded in you.
Hahaha. No getting rid of it either You can bleach all you like and blend with the fairest of them all But remember I said black is embedded in you.
Hahaha. Burn up your scalp with chemicals but watch your thick roots grow right back like they never left.
Black is your struggle Black is your history Black is your love Black is your beauty Black is power
Black is misunderstood, that's why you don't understand who you are.
You've had white people tip toe around stories of your ancestors. While they educate you on their own history.
Marie Ban Brittan Brown , a black nurse invented the first home security system.
The same security system every white person is so quick to install in their homes when they feel unsafe.
Please *rolls eyes* You live in a gated community What are you really afraid of?
Back to back Back to black You can't hide who you are in a flock of sheep when you're the only black one You can't deny your roots because black is embedded in you.
