BLACK
BLACK
Yes I am black as the night...
In my life I never been right,
Even my future is not bright
Yes I am black as the night.
But I never lost my sense of sight
And I will never stop this fight,
Even if this life of mine can be as “tight”
I am black as the night but not dolt as I look,
I even know how to cook...
Black as the night but not mockery as they insist,
It’s just that I am a purist!
Black as the night but bright as the moon
Halt and hush you will see soon,
Yes I am black as the night and I come at last
Yes I am black as the night...
In my life I never been right,
Even my future is not bright
Yes I am black as the night.
But I never lost my sense of sight
And I will never stop this fight,
Even if this life of mine can be as “tight”
I am black as the night but not dolt as I look,
I even know how to cook...
Black as the night but not mockery as they insist,
It’s just that I am a purist!
Black as the night but bright as the moon
Halt and hush you will see soon,
Yes I am black as the night and I come at last

I think all skin color is beautiful. I never got why people hate over skin. Our skin as well as many other things make us who we are.
But the fact is most people despise using skin color. Thanks for commenting man it means a lot

Nice! It makes me wonder if you mean black only as a metaphor or also as skin color?

Thanks man but I used "black" only as a skin color, but hey I am new maybe one day I will improve my skill.
