Black and Beautiful

IM BLACK AND BEAUTIFUL

BEAUTIFUL AND BLACK

IM BLACK AND BEAUTIFUL

BEAUTIFUL AND BLACK

 

BEAUTIFUL BLACK EYES NO NEED FOR BLUE CONTACTS

BEAUTIFUL FULL LIPS THAT PART THE NILE RIVER.

BODY-N-HIPS TURN ANY SAINT TO A SINNER.

YOU NEXT TO ME YOU A WINNER

STAND SECOND TO NO OTHER

IM YA MOTHER, SISTER, LOVER LOVE YA, BROTHER.

I'VE COME TO BLESS YA, TO TOUCH YA

CUZ YA HOOK BY MY LOOK,

CUZ IT'LL MAKE YA STUTTER.

MY SKIN IS OF EBONY

MY CURVES ARE A SYMPHONY.

IM A AFRICAN QUEEN

IM NOT ASHAMED OF MY ROOTS

IM PROUD OF ROOTS

IM TELLING THE TRUTH.

SEE I AM THE TRUTH.

IM SAYIN THIS FOR YOU TO SIT AND PONDER, IM SAYING THIS FOR YOU TO SIT WONDER, WONDER WHY I HOLD BLACK TO BEING SECOND BEST, WHEN REALLY BEING BLACK IS BEING BETTER THAN THE REST.

 

IM BLACK AND BEAUTIFUL

BEAUTIFUL AND BLACK

IM BLACK AND BEAUTIFUL

BEAUTIFUL AND BLACK
