Black

black!
           black! 
                      black!

my skin is black
          my talk is black
my walk is black
          my swag is black -

everything I do
          I do it black -

black!
           black! 
                       black!

my family is black
          my church is black
my name is black -

          I'll die black,

and 
            if 
I
             come back,

I pray 
              that 
I'm black -

                proud to be
who I am -

                 black! 
                         black! 
                                 black!                 

              a black man -
