What is black
The color of darkness or animals
Shadow of a tree, makeup on cannibals
Hair from a human, ink for my pen
Black is blind man's vision
So tell me what's a black man?
It's the culture of a man that's willing to accept any history and name with respect
One that'll learn his story from another race
In a different language and another place
Policy or licensed community extermination of a racial population
Wisdom even is oppressed by the government
Made a ready k**er because of another sin
A brother doing wissamon
Deep solitude, father of the soul with a pure funky attitude
Hell place because most of them lack pigmentation of the skin
Mine is brown so what is black
What is black
The shade of the solar system
Freedom of speech, I scream it loud
Black and proud
What is black and where do blacks come from
Nigerians from Niger
Egyptians from Egypt
Cleopatra, woman from Africa
Elizabeth Taylor, Caucasian movie actor
What's the difference
One is a queen and the other played the queen on the movie screen
Now, how can this be
When there is no resemblance
And the actors of the movies didn't have the slightest blemish of darkness to represent the people
Raised in the motherland and slayed by another hand
I'm dark cause of the color I don't lack
But I'm a dark shade of brown
So what is black
Walking strong
Dr. King
What is black
You see, we as African descendants are blessed
Our blood line is strong cause the weak ones died in the journey on to this land
And before I accept any name handed down to me
I have one question to ask
What is black and how am I black when I'm dark brown
A man denied a home, a king without a crown
Manipulative minds have no heart
So they grab a large group of people and tear em apart
Hoping to have a heart transplant
Take brains away and even take names away
I'm not dissin' just stating the fact that
If my skin is brown am I colorblind or what is black?
Color of my brothers
What is black
Some ask why wouldn't I fight for my country
Maybe it's because America isn't my country
And before I'm willing to be accepted as a true American
You must first take off the prefix of Afroamerican
What is black and is it inferior
The more is broke in town the government gets scarier
If you ask me this question you need to ask every motherf**er, son and daughter in the press
United snakes of America
We're preparing to take a stand
A stand that's tearing your whole government inside out to conquer the white
Now, ask yourself what is black
What is black
Intelligent blacks built pyramids
Black and proud
