Let's hear it for the black man
Let's hear it for the black man with his beautiful brown skin
His struggle don't show.Oh, the way that melanated skin glows
Vanilla caramel latte toffee deep dark brown chocolate, cinnamon coffee
So strong and powerful brute and brave
Born to be royalty Never a slave
Let's hear it for the black man.Others don't know no better
Built to perfection down to the letter
It's just something about them that can't be missed
There's power in their knowledge, not only their fists
Let's hear it for the black man.They've been through a lot
Making mountains out of molehills Building mansions from a cot
Lifting up his queen always there for protection
Flawless, in my eyes, there's no need for discussion
Reppin his set
Raised out of violence
Beaten and abuse yet his voice can't be silenced
He's a powerful force and he evokes fear
Without the black man, Noone would be here
Let's hear it for the black man cause he can't be broken
Straight out the projects or very well spoken
Resilienceny can't be missed
And when he realizes his potential
Mannnnn, let's hear it for the black man
