It's OK To Be Black

Looking at this generation feeling hopeless

Looking cross my shoulder keep my eyes open

Keep my mind focus ain't no hocus pocus

Cuz When it's all said and done they will all know us

Trying to bring us down keep us at our lowest

You thought you broke us, uh huh, but you woke us

Be a leader not a follower Modern day Moses

I'm the water to the seeds that becomes roses

Don't let no one put you down

Let me see your smile

Don't cry daughter ( it's ok to be black)

Don't cry baby (it's ok to be black)

Get up my son nothing can hold you back

Don't cry children (it's ok to be black)

Shine shine

You're beautiful inside

Rise up rise up don't you know you can fly

The darker the berry the sweeter the juice

You make not like it

I'm speaking the truth

Just like a panther that's out on the loose

I stand for the people fight for the youth

Don't let no one put you down

Let me see your smile

Don't cry daughter ( it's ok to be black)

Don't cry baby (it's ok to be black)

Get up my son nothing can hold you back

Don't cry children (it's ok to be black)

Shine shine

You're beautiful inside

Rise up rise up don't you know you can fly

The world will judge you

But God knows heart

They say they love you

But leave you in the dark

Child when you fall down

You better get up

Go on dust your crown

Victory is won

Don't cry daughter ( it's ok to be black)

Don't cry baby (it's ok to be black)

Get up my son nothing can hold you back

Don't cry children (it's ok to be black)

Shine shine

You're beautiful inside

Rise up rise up don't you know you can fly
