Born in the black a land
of the unknown
Place where the struggles
of the past have grown
Where dreams are shattered
and hopes are blown
Yet we rise up and make
our own throne
We’re warriors fighting to be seen
Voice for the oppressed
we make our dreams
Story untold yet it still gleams
Black is beautiful that’s what it means
Black is power a force
to be reckoned with
Strength that we draw
from deep within
God bless
Fire that burns and never dims
Flame that shines and never grim
We’re breaking chains
The power of our melanin
we’ll show to you
We’re a rainbow of hues
Our voices will ring and go further
Brisk march
Music that moves and cuts like a knife
Dance that flows and brings us to life
We’re a people of passion
Spirit that moves with endless fashion
We’re a culture that’s lived
and lived to last
Journey of pain
Past that’s been written
with stories so bold
Future that’s bright
and never gets old
We’re a people that’s been
through so much
History that’s been written with a touch
But we’ve come so far
with a spirit untouched
Black is resilience we never give up
Rise from the ashes we refill our cup
Turn pain into power we rise to the top
Break down barriers
we don't let them stop
We're always on the move
Never lose sight of
what we have to prove
Breaking the mold
we're breaking the rules
Black is the strength
that fuels our every move
Fighting for justice
we're answering calls
Challenging systems
we're changing the laws
Bringing the light
to the darkest of halls
The voices that speak
the ones that lead
The ones that pave the way
for those in need
We're the ones that
never give in to greed
The ones that bring life
to the darkest of sessions
We're the ones that create
with every profession
Never give up
Music that moves and cuts like a knife
Dance that flows and brings us to life
We’re a people of passion
Spirit that moves with endless fashion
We’re a culture that’s
lived and lived to last
Journey of pain
Past that’s been written
with stories so bold
Future that’s bright and never gets old
We’re a people that’s been
through so much
History that’s been written with a touch
But we’ve come so far
with a spirit untouched
The ones that tell stories
we're the ones that inspire
We're the ones that push
boundaries we're the ones that don't tire
The ones that light the fire
we're the ones that never expire
Black is creativity that
sets our hearts on fire
Standing as one we're never tethered
Rise up in the face of the weather
We're the ones that support
one another we're always clever
The ones that build bridges
we're the ones that unite
Fight for what's right
we're the ones that ignite
