We breathe the air they tried to take
We laugh out loud with our souls in place
We drink, we eat and we sing our songs
even though we know our days may go wrong

Hatred borne to one - but not the another
Only to live to say - man why do they bother. They won't stop and yet continue to try to destroy a sister straight up inside

But no matter what they say or try to do
Know that our blackness will always reign true. Come at us with your absolute worst
as we lay down the rules of the meaning of our true worth.

Blackness in our beauty -...
