Many People Love Wearing Black

Many people love wearing black However, nobody wants to be black Ignore the fools, the jerks who paint Their face black; they need to repent Many people enjoy being dressed in black Yet nobody wants to be blocked By this unfair society of splenetic, dark And rancorous reaction toward Our next of kin. Let's move forward Blacks have endured a lot over the years It's a shame that anybody who dares To stand for black people are ostracized Discriminated against and marginalized Few people desire to be black I belong to this group. I love anything that's black All the colors of the spectrum And the nuances of the shades at the stadium Be proud of who you are, stand tall, walk tall With your head facing up; you're not going to fall Many people love to wear: black bow tie Black suit, black gown, black pants, black tie And black shoes. Nobody likes to be mocked Black people are beautiful, strong, unmasked Intelligent, bold, talented and proud of their color I am black and proud of my features, my fine odor My shade, my lips, my arms, my head, and my body As a group, Blacks are friendly and fear nobody Black people have a natural shade and complexion Black is the color of the earth, the color of creation We need to remember that all humans are dirt Beautiful Maria, please do not raise your skirt To make a point. You're gorgeous without make-up You look great. In the sun, you don't need a casque You are who you are. Be proud. I'm who I'm. From top To bottom, you and I don't need a mask.
