Black, my colour

My colour is black
Yes! I'm black
A black person from Afrika
Black by birth, black by death
A black, from a black descendant
From a black country, a black origin

My race is black
Yes! my black is beauty
There's nothing that I lack
You say my black is dirty
The dirt from the dark
It's my colour that makes me pretty

You've made soo many things
That will help me change my colour
No! I will never apply them
On my black delicate skin
I will never betray my root
And mix up with you

No! I will never bleech
And be thinking I'm alright
I will never change my speech
And follow you through the night
But i will stay at my beach
And be guided by my own light

You came and enslaved me
And took me to your world
You mixed me with your genes
And tried to hide black, my colour
But my black traces were still there
My true identity could'nt be hidden

And now, i am coming
Coming back to my root and origin
Back to Afrika my home
The land of blacks, my desendants
And i will never get missing
Because i know my colour...........

My color is black
Yes! Black is my colour .....By paangoe
