rukus – black magic lyrics

[intro: rukus]
black, black, black

[chorus: fati]
black as midnight and blackberry jam
skin molasses, black as i am
all black everything so classic
black boy, black girl, black magic

[verse 1: rukus]
everybody lied to you
said your skin was inferior, but their motives ulterior
what they hide from you?
ya doc told ya get vitamin d supplements
but black skin produce it the moment the sun touches it
lactose intolerant, + it’s made up now
how could it ever be cool to drink the milk of a cow?
only milk you were needing, was from breast feeding
ancestors whipped to produce it right after breeding…
+ we evolved to endure bleeding
evidence shows black blood clots 4 times morе easy
and that’s a scientific fact
black women arе immortal, ask henrietta lacks

[chorus: fati]
black as midnight and blackberry jam
skin molasses, black as i am
all black everything so classic
black boy, black girl, black magic
[verse 2: rukus]
you’re not a slave +you’re from ghana or liberia
mali or sierra leone, + benin or nigeria
the physical criteria, the dna and fossils
the curly hair and dark skin, the nose with broad nostrils
you should claim it, cuz i claim you +
you were stolen, or got sold, so we got blame too
but we kin, check our dancing and our music it’s the hardest
and every major genre was started by black artists
we invented the banjo, made jazz in new orleans
chuck berry was rock & roll + elvis stole to be called king
but look + our only king is martin luther,+
but being black and preaching ‘bout freedom, might have’em shoot ya

[chorus: fati]
black as midnight and blackberry jam
skin molasses, black as i am
all black everything so classic
black boy, black girl, black magic

[verse 3: rukus]
hair full of chemicals, trying to press it down
but black hair is meant to grow up + it’s meant to be a crown
thus, you all are kings and queens + we lived in palaces
we ate the finest foods, drank out of golden chalices
but they say we’re lazy, not smart enough to win
call us ugly, try to judge us by the color of our skin
+ that’s that melanin, they tanning for again and then
they try to tell a strong black women, that she ain’t feminine?
they show you kids with stomachs out + malnourished
never show you the mansions where people of ours flourish
accra, lagos, nairobi…
houston, atlanta, dc we all glowing (it’s love)
[chorus: fati]
black as midnight and blackberry jam
skin molasses, black as i am
all black everything so classic
black boy, black girl, black magic

[fati and rukus]
oh oh
black black
oh oh oh
black black black
oh oh
black black
oh oh oh
black black black

[outro: rukus]
i just wanted to do a song where everybody could realize that the things that they told you + it’s not true. there’s something special about being black
