angela brown – black and proud lyrics

black and proud by angela brown

black and proud
proud of the skin i am in
i am black and proud
my blackness is the characteristic
that separates dark from light
my blackness is the color of an onyx jewel
a symbol of relationships that build nations
my blackness is the surface
that distinguishes day from night
good from bad
different from indifferent
cool from lame
when a person is in control
he is separated from the uncouth
that identifies color as my race
because i dare to be different
i stand out in a crowd
proud of the skin i’m in
i stand black and proud
my blackness is a character trait
when unified has the power to improve existence
my blackness is the political and economic constraints
use to define what is a human condition
my blackness reflects a social condition
a cultural belief that is an unchanging power
uncurtaining, unaltered and suffering
my blackness is a dangerous and fierce belief
that gave man the courage to communicate an ideology
whose voice is despondent to time and broken in silence
at the breaking point of my blackness
has become the voice of infusion to life’s altercation to light
my blackness is a color of skin
as skin’s radiant complexion
of social formalities of right and wrong
my blackness is a belief that is sustaining
blackness defines what is unfair and unclear
how we are represented or underrepresented as a race
the fact that blackness suffers from losing its ident-ty
in how it is labeled
my blackness becomes the courage of who i am
of silencing ignorance
blackness is a color that infuses the light
by altering circ-mstance, by breaking barriers
my blackness is the essence of
who i am, where i stand, and who i have become
i’m black and i’m proud of being black
i am proud to live in the skin i am in
yes, i am black and proud of it
