Beautiful black flower No weeping willow Oh! They love to hate you so Golden brown boys and girls Please stick around Even though they want to see you go They love to hate you They imitate you Don't appreciate you They tolerate you They incarcerate you Won't rehabilitate you Woah, they want to keep you down You build your cities; they burn it down You plant your corn they chop it down You raise your spawn; they shot it down You are still around, so hold your ground How far we've come, despite Jim Crow Unpaid restitution, now dem tiptoe We've toppled mountains, many more to go Upon you this message I bestow Beautiful black flower No weeping willow Oh! They love to hate you so Golden brown boys and girls Please stick around Even though they want to see you go I dream of a day when you're truly free To walk through this world duty free You're melanin strong, pay the penalty Surprisingly, history is your blueprint to prosperity So, lift your eye to the sky young sons of Selassie Brothers of Martin Daughters of Garvey Sisters of Coffy Know that you're worthy Don't be discouraged cause your survival is the key You're beautiful and mighty You're mighty, stay mighty Remove self-hatred from your psyche You are valuable asset to society The main objective is to set you free Mentally, spiritually Emancipate yourself from the trapping vanity and luxury Educate and elevate thyself to the worldly philosophy Beautiful black flower No weeping willow Oh! They love to hate you so Golden brown boys and girls Please stick around Even though they want to see you go Believe you can be whatever you to be Tread intelligently to where you need to be Financial security is a means to be free Intellectual maturity destroys mental slavery Keep one eye on the future The other on history Use your rage and frustration to fuel you upward mobility Preserve your sanity Move with grace and dignity Fight for your humanity Because you are truly a Beautiful black flower No weeping willow Oh! They love to hate you so Golden brown boys and girls Please stick around Even though they want to see you go Beautiful black flower No weeping willow Oh! They love to hate you so Golden brown boys and girls Please stick around Even though they want to see you go
