Black.
That's what they see first.
Black.
That's what they hear first.
Black.
That's what they touch first.
Black.
That's what they remember first.
Black.
I'm proud
They know I am black.
I'm proud
They know I am a descendant of excellence.
I'm proud
They know I am a Queen in the making.
I'm proud.
I am amazing
But I am not invincible.
I am amazing
But I am not perfect.
I am amazing
But I am not silent.
I am amazing.
I know my worth
So I don't like them killing me.
I know my worth
So I don't like them erasing my history.
I know my worth
So I don't like them silencing my voice.
I know my worth.
Stop killing us
Because we look different.
Stop killing us
Because we bring greatness.
Stop killing us
Because we have wider noses.
Stop killing us
Because we want to make ends meet.
Stop killing us
Because we look like criminals to you.
Stop killing us
Because you want to keep your head in the sand.
Stop killing us
Because we are excellent.
Stop killing us
Because we are part of the change.
Stop killing us
Because we have been silenced for so long.
Stop killing us
Because we won't sit by any longer.
Stop killing us
Because we are human.
