I'm a black man , I'm the essence of toughness My roots are deep like the mighty baobab tree Once a chained slave, today I stand in greatness I'm a black man , I'm a proud man and I'm free .
I'm a black man , once the master's possession I have scars stamped to my soul but I'm free Once a cotton picker , I now have a profession I'm a black man , a very proud man and I'm here.
I m a black man , the first born of mama Ebone The black Goddess , the true mother of humanity Once upon a time in jubaru, I sat upon a throne Where my queens and warriors all lived in unity.
I'm a black man, I will always be the best runner Shoot me if you will but my black soul fears no guns Once like Garvey, today like Usine and Obama , I'm a winner I'm a free black man and my soul hosts a thousand suns .
If Heaven is pure and white , just like Obama added some Blackness to the White House , me and my black soul will be in Heaven too !
