The power of being black

She was the rain He was the thunder And together they were an unstoppable storm Both activists in their own form Both doing what they were made for A duo who held a power that could destroy A system Meant only to break them Built to control them Her voice was fire Loud and unforgiving His mind was like ice Cold and calculated She was outspoken She lead the protests Whilst he wrote the speeches This was their dynamic This made the racist world panic And that's exactly what they wanted They knew their power They knew what triggered their envy They knew the secret to unlock their weakness And that was their blackness So together they openly loved themselves They knew it would cause them to become overwhelmed Something they couldn't take So instead they decide to hate To mask their envy To repress their inferiority And replace it with false superiority To hide their insecurities For as long as we love our blackness It will forever be our shield To protect us From the darkness that lurks within the racists Who will forever burn in their hatred And scarred By jealousy
