My Identity

am black, am black
i will say it loud
for that am proud
it has compassed me all around


am black, am black
from my head to toe
no matter where i go
wither high or low


am black, am black
black is beauty
this is my identity
for i can only be me


am black, am black
for black is a nation
it is more than color
black is Nubia
black is power


am black, am black
and that do not make me inferior
but rather feels superior
for black is natural
black is forever
