Avery*Sunshine - Blackity Black Lyrics

You showed up late to the function
But that's alright 'cause I'm right on time
(Hey)
Shades on, two drinks in
The girls are out and we're feeling just fine
The essence is all around
I taste its color, it's all in my bones
Spades over to the left, Uncle Rock on my right
And he's carrying on
Ooh, you know what that means
Oh, it's so good to be black
(It feels good to my soul)
Oh, it's so good being black
Yeah, I say it, "Black, black, blackity black"

Give back
Black, black, blackity black

We got roots like a shepherd's tree
We go deeper than the eye can see
Yea-yeah, yeah
We can't be colorblind
All fists up to red, black, and green
And everything we touch turns to gold
See, oh, it's so good to be black
Oh, it's so good being black
(This is for my daughter, for my mother, my sister)
They gotta hear us sing it
Black, black, blackity black
A real black for me
Black, black, blackity black
So black for-
Black, black, blackity black
(Is that so?)
(Either you got it or you don't) black, black, blackity black

We got it, we got it, we got it, we got it
(And we're beautiful)
So black
(Oh, we're beautiful)
We're black (and we're beautiful)

So black (and we're beautiful)
Yes, I'm black (and we're beautiful)
Black (and we're beautiful)
So black (and we're beautiful)

The world has been indebted for centuries (and we're beautiful)
To the vibration of African genius (and we're beautiful)

So black (and we're beautiful)
So black (and we're beautiful)
Real black (and we're beautiful)
Obsidian black (and we're beautiful)
Real black (and we're beautiful)
We're beautiful
We're beautiful
