Black Is Beautiful (feat. Sampa The Great) [Remix] Lyrics

Here is a story told to the children of Africa

I come from the root
Beginning of time from the birth
From the first if you wanna hear the truth
My motherland, you, carried ol' life in ya hand
On the other hand we tryna kill you
Remember in my youth
They told me my skin was a curse from the earth
And they took me for a fool
But under my review
Our melanin still run the earth
And the universe covered in two
We talking 'bout you black skin, black kin, black God
Black love, black kids, black heart
Black end and being and black start
If you're tired of hearing black
Here's another black part
They tried to wipe away all my black thoughts
And cover up all my black past
Blowed the nose off the Pharoah just 'cause
They don't wanna let me see upon the glory of God, now

They never told us
That black is beautiful
They never told us
Black is beauty
They never told us
That black is beautiful
They never told us
They never told us that black is beautiful

Black conscience
Understand the plight of my people
Now we looking way past equal
Another generation march on the steps to feel legal
Just so they can kill another hero, sound so feeble
To fight for the rights that you know
The land that you own for the rights that you own
Just to push back to the life that you know
Right back fighting for the rights of us
Only and my people came from the land of the black
Kingdoms and nations in fact you studied all black
Your knowledge of the science and spirits
And chemistry, numbers, and math
We manage all that
The knowledge of aerodynamics and pyramids building, know that
A matter of fact
Inventions you see trust me
That they all forget to mention they black
What credit is that?
You cover up my greatness on purpose
My future path vaguely uncertain
My destiny truly still hurting
Melanin deep and I'm still out searching
Royalty, royalty help me find shelf
Africa, Africa help me find wealth
Zion is, Zion is asking for help
And the day of my judgement story I go tell ya

They never told us
That black is beautiful
They never told us
Black is beauty (yeah)
They never told us
That black is beautiful
They never told us
They never told us that black is beautiful

They never told us

Preacher is preaching, good God
The things that he preaches
I wonder who taught him to preach?
Teacher is teaching
Where did he get his degree?
Now it is no mystery
Who taught us Black History, ease up
