Walky Wah - Black Sheep

I am the black sheep
We are the black sheep
Accept the white sheep
Beauty's but skin deep

I am the black sheep
We are the black sheep
Accept the white sheep
Beauty's but skin deep

Born to a fair skin mother
But really looked like poppa
But poppa never bothered
I was the darker brother
To my sister the black sheep she'd
Beg to differ
She always got in trouble
I was ashamed of my color
A misfit cuz my pigment
My kindred wasn't the only ignant people who rescinded
A mental conditioning from people From of the Caribbean
I grew up insecure
Back when everyone wanted to look Like Al B Sure
Being dark was wicked and light was Pure
Never understood there logic
Till my momma infringed Topical Products on my self conscious
Never thought they'd accept me for Being me
Low self esteem kids were mean
Believed what i perceived
I was the black sheep for a Quarter of A century
Locked in this self-hatred Penitentiary

I am the black sheep
We are the black sheep
Accept the white sheep
Beauty's but skin deep

I am the black sheep
We are the black sheep
Accept the white sheep
Beauty's but skin deep

I am the black sheep
We are the black sheep
Accept the white sheep
Beauty's but skin deep

It's Black History Month sitting in
The pews
When Joanne recited a poem from Maya Angelou
To conclude she stated Black was Beautiful
Befuddle I thought that was highly Unusual
Watching 90210 changed my point
Of view
Had a super crush on Kelly
The truth I couldn't belly
Brainwashed with white lies
Cake soap my skin light
Dark knight who lack sight
I went to school looking like a Dalmatian
Sunbaked like a raisin denied I was Haitian
Just to fit equations
Look what they did to Michael
No love from within and suffered From vitiligo
Our minds stuck in this mental
Prison
This colonialism rid me of the Stigmatism
I need mind free
Beauty's but skin deep
No longer do I mind being the black Sheep

Black sheep black sheep have you any Wool
Black sheep black sheep you are Wonderful
Black sheep black sheep you aren't Troublesome
Black sheep black sheep stand out in A bunch

Black sheep black sheep have you any Wool
Black sheep black sheep you are Wonderful
Black sheep black sheep you aren't Troublesome
Black sheep black sheep stand out in A bunch

I am the black sheep
We are the black sheep
Accept the white sheep
Beauty's but skin deep

I am the black sheep
We are the black sheep
Accept the white sheep
Beauty's but skin deep

I am the black sheep
We are the black sheep
Accept the white sheep
Beauty's but skin deep

I am the black sheep
We are the black sheep
Accept the white sheep
Beauty's but skin deep
