I guess I can see why you want to stay
Like a bad noise
I guess I can see why you looked this way
You had no choice
I am melanin
I am copper skin
I am African
I am Golden
I am love inside
I am full of pride
And I will not hide
I am Golden
I guess I can see why you think that you, you can have this
Your ancestors taught you that I’m less than you
Which is madness
I am melanin
I am copper skin
I am African
I am Golden
I am love inside
I am full of pride
And I will not hide
I am Golden
I will not
We will not
We cannot
Stay down
I will not
We will not
We cannot
Stay down
I will not (I will not)
We will not (we will not)
We cannot (we cannot)
Stay down
I will not (I will not)
We will not (we will not)
We cannot (we cannot)
Stay down
Stay down
Stay down
I guess I can see why you want a taste of my blackness
The fact that you can wear it for a day
Is just madness
I can see you stare
When my hips they flare
At my kinky hair
At my blackness
I am black and proud
And I’ll sing it loud like that love (*)
I’m a Goddess
You think my culture is something you can have like a product
Like you can wash it off when it don’t suit you and it can be bought
You can’t help but stare when my hips they flare
At my kinky hair
At my blackness
I am black and proud
And I’ll sing it loud like that love (*)
I’m a Goddess
I will not
We will not
We cannot
Stay down
I will not
We will not
We cannot
Stay down
I will not (I will not)
We will not (we will not)
We cannot (we cannot)
Stay down
I will not (I will not)
We will not (we will not)
We cannot (we cannot)
Stay down
Stay down
Stay down
