my skin dark like fine chocolate on a cold winter day
I am kissed by the sun in every way
i am a ***** I built towers and farms
I built hot combs and yarns
I am a ***** I've been a slave.
tortured hung just for using my improper slang.
whistled a white lady they say
betcha if they found a white man buried in the river I died in they would scream and beg for someone to pay.
I am a ***** I have my rights
to keep in my seat not just for fun
we all look the same on the inside just cuz our cola different don't mean
we should act blind.
I am a ***** I am kissed by the sun and chocolate like a cold winters day
I am a ***** and I've made history.
