Black is my drug Time to write out our lives and show them out pain Just cause we are of color doesn’t mean we don’t know the game It’s quite the opposite, in books we see how the white men lives But we of color can tell that story from two perspectives Life made out of struggle just cause of melanin But only the strong get trials that means were natural born kings We all know the sayings “Black is strength, Black don’t crack” But how much of you really believe that? That goes deeper than wrinkles in the skin It’s the strength and prosperity that we pass to our Kim It the fact that we know God and adore his name We don’t need lust or drugs or even fame What makes us different is more than color We’re the only ones strong enough to convert pain to love and hope And not turn to satan for hatred and dope So the next time someone comments don’t shrug Just turn to them, smile and say it proudly, BLACK IS MY DRUG.
