Black like me,black as can be My skin is sort of light,but inside,this is what I see Black like fertile soil,from which I grew like a tree Black like the midnight sky,black as the evening sea
Alkebulanian is my original name,African is what you might call me I'm black as the blackest berry,you know it's sweet My nose is broad,my lips are full,and my hair is wooly,can't you see I was created in the likeness of perfection,I'm the definition of beauty I'm black like black gold,black like new coal I'm black like the natural resouces of the earth,which brings riches untold
All colors combined creates me,I'm the darkest one Black is the dominate shade of majesty,from it the rainbow sprung My blackness is strong,I don't have to be protected from the sun I dance happily in her powerful rays,my blackness allows to have fun Many define my blackness negatively,but I use it to uplift God created me with this beautiful blackness,it's such a wonderful gift.
