Black Excellence

Never brought into the Light
But trust me, we won’t go down without a fight
Because being Black is having pride in our race
Not being mad at the white man’s face

Stolen from the motherland, and
Stripped from our cultures
Our history disappearing like meat eaten by a vulture

But at last, we prevail
And we’re here to tell our tale
Being Black is being blessed
It’s God himself putting us to the test
Like the CRCT, making sure we exceed

So if you haven’t met a real black person yet
You have now,
Cause you’ve met
ME.
