J.Walker of TLD - Black + Beautiful

We’re black and beautiful
Black and comely, say it humbly
But let em know, we’re black and beautiful
Call me ugly, wouldn’t love me
But let em know, we’re Black and beautiful
Black and comely, say it humbly
But let em know, we’re black and beautiful
Call me ugly, wouldn’t love me
But let em know, we’re Black and beautiful
Tell me where to go, they wanna tell me who I am
Maybe they would know, if they cared to understand
Tell me where to go, they wanna tell me who I am
Maybe they would know, if they cared to understand
I ain’t tryna hurt nobody, never robbed a man
So please Mr officer, don’t kill me where I stand
You want peace, I want the same
Dressed for war, it’s a shame
I needed you, you never came
But speeded to, give us chains
You know life is a gift, for you life is a shift
When things go adrift, both end swift
But I feel there’s a rift, like there’s a divide
I mean I see blue lights, and I feel I should hide
Black and comely, say it humbly
But let em know, we’re black and beautiful
Call me ugly, wouldn’t love me
But let em know, we’re Black and beautiful
Black and comely, say it humbly
But let em know, we’re black and beautiful
Call me ugly, wouldn’t love me
But let em know, we’re Black and beautiful
Tell me where to go, they wanna tell me who I am
Maybe they would know, if they cared to understand
Tell me where to go, they wanna tell me who I am
Maybe they would know, if they cared to understand
Yelling that we took their jobs, then they called us lazy
Love to talk about the past, just don’t mention slavery
We scare them when we frown, scare them when we smile
Scare them when we’re grown, scare them as a child
We’re victims when we’re calm, villains when we’re wild
In love wit hot and spicy, ain’t messing wit the mild
We gon, tun up, get it popping, never need a run up
The city getting bun up, but God gon bring the son up
Black and comely, say it humbly
But let em know, we’re black and beautiful
Call me ugly, wouldn’t love me
But let em know, we’re Black and beautiful
Black and comely, say it humbly
But let em know, we’re black and beautiful
Call me ugly, wouldn’t love me
But let em know, we’re Black and beautiful
