People who don't see color showing their true color We're all hue man But what hue is you I'm 50 Langston Hughes Darker than Hugh Jackman But y'all got the nerve to mistreat me Like I'm the mutant I'm Luke Cage with this melanination It's amazing My Black is more of a Superpower Than China is Muscle, bone, and brain are warmed By a mahogany coat of solar panels Who needs electric companies When I'm generating this Black Power Dopeness per hour By the kilo watt We get charged with death penalties for our innocent existence So we protest to legalize Blackness Hair is kinky but it's not a fetish Black woman says you'll catch these Hands before you can ever touch this No spared feelings, no cares given There's no Karen their world There's Atatiana, Breonna, Aura Janisha, Tanisha Say their names, say their names Y'all acting kind of shady For a people who don't see color The darker the melanin, the less intelligent They used to claim I'm dark like the neuromelanin in your brain That protects you from Parkinson's Disease So all lives have Black thoughts Paranoid when they hear those Black voices In their head Stealing their sleep and peace of mind As reparations for stealing our language But couldn't steal our rhythm And wouldn't you be sad if we made the Blues Black again Our walk, our talk, our sex is smooth as Jazz And even that has an African genotype The flesh of Rock 'n' Roll and Disco Was Micheal Jackson's skin tone Until he Bleached it It all goes to show that Blackness is Soul It doesn't die It reincarnates over many genres It transcends physicality It's mentality + spirituality Where you can speak proper English Think like a Negus, feel like a n**** But act like a god or goddess It is brilliant resilience Rich in spirit, impoverished living Fatherless and still smarter Than 90% of the class It's surviving slavery, thriving like it didn't happen But living like our ancestors never died They are reborn as Us today Not for vengeance but for healing It's laughing so hard you gotta run off and come back It's Kool-Aid smiles with gangsta grills It's doo rags and head wraps It's kicks instead of shoes It's, I'm trying to be like you, but I'm also doing me It's Kwanza and Juneteenth Wazzup with two zz's You speak when you enter my house But if I see you in the street I greet you with a head nod from 20 feet away You good? means 7 different things And they're all understood Everything is written over our Black Face So you can see what we're thinking It's never about what you say But how you say it It's Vodoun, Santeria, Ifa, the Orishas It's ancestor worship Blackness is liberation Black boy joy and Black girl Magic Killing linguistic semantics Giving good meaning to bad words Blackness is the word And the word is with God So the God body is a Black body And mine was mirrored in God's imagination Black since the Moors Black since the Nubians Black since the Khemetians Black since the Atlanteans Black since the Semites Went from having a dream To staying woke Its one drop of this Blackness in your blood And you're one of us As long as you were raised by The Village You think you're not racist Because you have biracial children But so did the slave masters
