Lyrics Black Is Beautiful (feat. Londyn Rae) - Mookie Motonio feat. Londyn Rae

They say the blacker the berry
The sweeter the juice
I say the darker the flesh then
The deeper the roots
Lovin' your African features
I'm only speaking the truth
If you're feelin' insecure
Then I'm speakin' to you
Your self esteem feelin' low
Cuz your complexion is dark
Not knowin' that your skin color is as rich as your heart
They dividin' our people
They wanna break us apart
It's time to put us back together
And dis where it starts
Black woman is queen
The blood flows through her genes
It doesn't matter if your light, dark or just in between
Every God needs a Goddess
We all sisters and brothers
The only way to recover
Is if we love one another
Let's do it

Black is beautiful
In every single way
Words can't bring us down
Black is beautiful
In each and every shade
No words can't bring us down

It's a lot of single mother out here grindin' on they own
But salute to the fathers man that never stay at home
It's a bit of a struggle when daddy ain't in the picture
But to get a man's point of view
You need a male figure
A lot of black men dead or behind bars
But it's more black men educated 'n workin' hard
So many hidden colours
So many hidden skeletons
Tryna keep away from the race with the melanin
Black people needa understand where we belong
We've been slaves this long
Now it's back to the throne
We've been whipped, hung and sprayed
Imagine how it felt
And they ain't showin' us love
Cuz we ain't lovin' ourselves
We seem to overlook the information that's important
We rather kill each other and stand in line for Jordans
King said the mind is a terrible thing to waste
And I'm just tryna take my people to a better place
For better days

Black is beautiful
In each and every way
Words can't bring us down
Black is beautiful
In each and every shade
No words can't bring us down

Don't you bring us down today
Don't you bring us down today
Don't you bring us down today ooooh
