Black as midnight: showed me shining like day
Black Starliners, and his tears melted away. 

Walk softly let...

How long shall we try to convince her to see the truth?

Let`s go black in time
Come with me black to history
Black to the mother land
Where we rightfully belong
Black in time before the Europeans

Not just the color of my skin
The...

How dare you spit upon his garb! 
This peaceful bredda who by nature only loves, 
When you should have been his Rasta queen 
Your ghastly behaviour drew a scene 
And I- woman just like you 
Hang my head in shame 
As you defile our name....
