Be real Black for me.
Wear your 'fros, braids, headwraps, & dashikis.
Show your African aesthetic for beauty not the European one that you've been indoctrinated with.
Stand tall. Stop slouching for the load is lighter when we carry it together.
Smile at your melanated sister and brother for we are from neighboring tribes.
Tell the babies that they are Kings and Queens and make sure they truly know and believe it.
Show 'em who we are
They tried to break us but
Centuries later ...
We still laugh, cry, pray, learn, and grow
Centuries later ...
We still fight and refuse to conform
Centuries later ...
We still have not been broken
Centuries later ...
The African spirits of our ancestors live in us
Centuries later ...
We are here and though we may be hurt
Our
Souls
Will
Never
Be
Completely
Broken
So
Go 'head and ...
Be real Black for Me
