kieara potter – black isn’t a color lyrics

you ever hear the line “your ugly”?
well you may hear it once or twice, when others hear it their whole life
by others saying that and their minds, like me
i’ve always liked bright colors
but my life was never brighter than others
that’s why black is now my favorite color
darker and duller than it’s brother

people like that, or me
suffer all day, everyday, any day
people like me have low self-esteem
what is black, a color mean?
it’s not a color that’s for f-cking sure
people say it is, but i know the truth
come here
let me tell you something

black isn’t a color
i was never a color
it’s just an absence of another color
to fill that empty gap, in a bright color wheel
don’t you dare say it’s a color
black is just like me
an absence, of something that was supposed to be there
to fill an empty gap, in a bright color wheel

black was never meant to be like pink, a hot mess
nor was black meant to be blue, black is not a part of nature
would you see a black tree?
if that’s what you can see in nature, then your color blind
do parents teach them them blacks are the cruel ones
when we go to church for peace and read the bible to clear the mind
the cruel ones are the creatures with opposable thumbs

i’m not taking an educated guess
i know what’s best
best for my family
you can try but there’s no stopping me
once i’m in control there’s no stopping me
even when my heart, bleeds
the world has hurt many who’ve created
now thanks to you many of my people have deflated
let’s go back to 1619
whites thought it was fine, when it was actually cruel and mean(high note)
i know better
better than before
many,many years later
we have p-ssed laws, for all the cruel flaws
look at me a 14 year old black girl
tryin’ to change the way people see us vs us to the world(high note)

come here so i can tell you more

black isn’t a color
just a beautiful skin type, given to you by your mother
black will never be a color
i know that for a fact, by education
no, not by imagination
why, isn’t it a color?
because
why, isn’t it a color?
cause
why, isn’t it a color?

because, it is a person, sent by god
to help the world be a better one
now i know some of you won’t care about this, but
black isn’t a color
