Wake Up Black Child

They raped, tortured, enslaved and brainwashed your forefathers They them in such a way that they even hated who they were They made them believe that only the white man's color is precious They ended up trying by all means to be white They started by speaking the white man's language Used body lotions to change their color because it was too bad to be black Now you start wondering why is it that we have black men bleaching You also wonder why is it that we have black men speaking English Stop wondering and listen to me black child The white man no longer has anything he can use against you He is now using you against you, you against you black child They are now busy teaching you that black represents sorrow and bad luck That's why you see people wearing blacks clothes when mourning That's why you see people wearing white clothes when celebrating And you don't see anything wrong about it Because the white man is using his literature to feed your mind with his propaganda And the sad part is that this is killing you mentally and spiritually How can you be free when you believe that black is bad while you are black Be careful with what you're feeding your mind with Because belief is the power of an African Black child the only weapons you have are your history and mind Be proud, be strong, read books and keep this in mind BLACK IS BEAUTIFUL, NOW WAKE UP BLACK CHILD
