Dane Diamond - BLACK Lyrics

Lord please, Lord please, Lord please, Lord please

Lord please, if you are real give me a sign, a word, a thought, a burning bush of any kind
I'm fine if you have a plan, but if that plan is to be the man that I am
Then damn, I hope I'm doing it right, even when I can't

When I wanna f*ck the world off, on a tangent
I believe in something bigger, I don't know if it's you
Cause the you that was taught in school came from Eurocentric views
Yes, I love the world, yes, I love my culture

Yes, I can love both while avoiding the vultures
Be genuine with intent, love the skin that I'm in
Regardless of the hate I can face from my opps
Or the cops, a different race of my own kind

I look for good and real expression every time
Heed the words that I say and obey the thoughts that begin to convey
In your own mind, with no aggression
It's all up to you, and it's all up to me

To live in our own truth, collective destiny
Be a scholar of healing, only drug that I'm dealing
Only dope that I'm needing, open your eyes to see
All of my brothers, my niggas, we are unique

Say it with me, and the one thing that I love
The one thing that I love
The one thing that I love
The one thing that I love

Is I'm black, black, black
This is reverse racism
You can't say you love being black
I feel attacked, what if I said I love being white

Go ahead man, I don't give a damn about that
You a Euro-American all day and night
Just don't hate on me, you can be who you wanna be
Shit, I love everybody, but especially love me

Black, white, Asian, Latina, and all women
And I got brothers in all different complexions
But I'm black
If I die tomorrow, and a celestial being

Came to me with one question
Upon coming back, who you wanna be
I would have one answer
I cannot change the scene that I'm in

Cause I love it, cause I love it, I love it, I love it, I love being black
Black, black, I'm black
Love it, love it, love it
