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
