I’m black and proud

Dmarks

Im brown skin, but I’m black,
Us blacks has different shades,
my Origin is black, so black mentality is what I been raise,
Our skin got the history of millions of slaves,
they use to put our intelligence locked up in a cage
You call us niggers, but we are known as aborigines,
we are a superior race but you call us theft and murderer typical
We won the fight but lost the war, because racism is still going on 2day, with the black people so insecure,
you call us a lower race, but we invented so much stuff that you white people get credit for
Garrett Morgan was the first to build traffic lights
Frederick D. Patterson was the first to build cars
Benjamin Banneker who built his own clock,
But there things you don’t learn in schools,
they look at the book by its cover and call us fools,
they have been history untold, brainwash our mind tangled
And you call us a lower race,
we need to start to in brace our full lips, our broad nose, our think hair that brakes combs,
and stop diluting the colour that we are so shamed to have

    I certainly don't call you a "lower race"
    ....... no colors in my world....... just beautiful people!

    Sorry if you feel away, its not aimed at you, it’s aim at the people that viewed us as a lower race and the people that still see view us as a lower race till 2day,
