Black & Proud Lyrics by Jon Foli

Black & Proud - Single

2020

Yes I glorify blackness
I love it
I love it in all it shades
From light black to blue black
Black Black Black
I relish it
It is me
I love it
And I make no apologies for it
I glorify blackness
Runoko Rashidi
[Verse]
What you know about the black man
Brown skin kings
Who stand for something don't just dream
They make it happen
Who don't scream not all men
An example to all men
Male ego inside, all dead
Active in they kids life
Though baby mama don't act right
Take us back to when standards was real high
Real negus, true adonis
Surrounded by death and murder but loved by venus
Still undefeated
Though the system is fucked up
Our leaders have failed us
We still stand up right cos black just don't crack
Picture dominance that just won't back down
Shit that's our life nigga
Lion skin and gold crowns
Long dicks and bright smiles
God loved and the earth's child
Needless to say the black man blessed
But sometimes he forgets that leaves the black man hurt
A King who don't know his worth, that's the black man's curse
[Chorus]
But don't be fooled
Know who the king of the jungle is
Africa's very own
He rules the lands
Your plans for his ruin fail
Understand he'll always be in demand
Who that
The black man
But don't be fooled
Know who the king of the jungle is
Africa's very own
He rules the lands
Your plans for his ruin fail
Understand he'll always be in demand
Who that
The black man
[Verse]
What's a king without a Queen
It is she who truly rules
Her being the source of precious jewels
Oils run down her thighs
She's the envy of nations
Her complexities simplified
She is the foundation
Of an entire race
Ebony royalty, beautiful in every shade
Winning in every way
She's evenly covered in chocolate
The world prostrates on her arrival
Curves on her body, so hypnotic
Who else you know this soft and strong
Stay wake for hours long
Just to carry her people back to where they belong
From her lips we learnt the victory song
She composed and sang for her oppressors just to piss em off
I swear she deserves it all
Singlehandedly preventing the black man's downfall
Motions in grace and focus, I could never be prouder, I'm nothing without her
She's wise and black, now that's power
[Interlude]
My people crying
My people dying
Lord is this your plan can we redesign?
Plateau, Jos to the Chi, the black man's blood clothe the streets
Back in Gh just the politicians eat
Independent states but ain't feeling free
You're still fighting back equality
On social media you're an activist
Sometimes I wonder if the world don't see
Hashtag pray for me
Just pray for me
