Black Is Me

Black is me.
Black is the color of my lineage.
 
I celebrate my self not because of me.
I celebrate myself because of my african Gene.

Black I came and black I shall return.
If you kill my flesh and lock me in your cell.

My soul shall rest in my african heritage
and my spirit shall sink in my african legacy.

Forever I am an african 
and black is always me.
