Lyrics | I’m Black My identity was formed as a revolution because people like me were socially and spiritually colonized Marginalized Brutalized Stolen from our native lands Our cultures were stolen and brought back Europeanized to our native lands The Europeans even stolen our native lands Changed the way we live in this native land Stripped the self-knowledge out of the bodies in our minds Traumatized Dеhumanized I’m Black These humans likе me were subjugated for mere wealth Alienated to be mere labourers – building a new world we have no rights and freedoms over The system became updated, now we’re working for businesses we have no rights and ownership over We’re incarcerated and murdered, we’ve been protesting to be systematically perceived and treated as human beings I’m Black I know myself I know those that gave birth to me I know those that gave birth to those that gave birth to me NdinguMxhosa I know my roots’ so deep like a Great tree and I’m standing tall in this world through the weather of the environment that I was put in They might have forcibly put me in this township and took me away from my ancestors’ way of life But, they cannot take me away from myself And, they cannot take away my worth because they don’t even know it I’m Black Black is not the colour of my skin, Nah! Black is the colour of the thoughts that my mind is populated with That means Blackness is the State of Mind to which I’m an inhabitant Blackness is Impeccable and Powerful Black is all colours in the colour spectrum in one. Yes. Black is Colourful I’m Dark but don’t throw me a shade, I know that Black is Beautiful [Skit and "B L X C K" (Prelude)] You might also likeJudge: But why do use a term like "Black is Beautiful"? Steve Biko (Denzel Washington): Because Black is commonly associated with negatives. The Black markets. The Black sheep of the family. Anything which is supposed to be bad Judge: Then why do you used the word? Why do you people call yourselves Black? You people are more brown than Black Steve Biko: Why do you call yourselves white? You people are more pink than white! |
