Nokulunga Majozi
They’ve tried everything to change me
They’ve tried everything to hide me
They’ve tried everything to run away from me
For I am who they are
They are ashamed of me
They look down on me
They never see the best in me
But always look for the worst
Oh, how I wish your great grandfathers
Were still alive
Oh, how they use to keep me high
How they us to
Talk the talk
Walk the walk
Fight the fight and,
Be the best that they could be.
Without looking down on me
For they knew that
I am who they are
But you!!! Born frees
Don’t seem to understand how precious you are.
But don’t worry I understand
That you don’t know the real world
Because.
You’ve never talked the real talk
You’ve never walked the real walk
And you’ve definitely
Never fought the real fight.
You try everything to lighten me
Because you don’t realize the beauty I bring
You try everything to remove me
Because you think
I don’t make you feel good enough .
When are you going to accept and appreciate
That this is who you are
No colour is greater than me
No colour can replace me
For I am greater than any other colour
I am after all the GOLDEN BLACK
So to you born frees
I say black is beautiful ,
Appreciate black ,
Because is who you are
And black is what makes
Even more beautiful
