You could be brown like a chocolate

Or black like tar

Love mi black pickneys

Love mi black wife

Love mi thick lips

Love mi flat nose

Black from without

Black from within

When mi say black mi nuh just mean

The colour of the skin

Mi say black without and

Black within

Black inna your mind

Black inna your thinkin'

Blackness awareness a' whe' mi talkin'

Don’t forget your roots

Don’t forget your origin

Your pride and your dignity

They come from within

With God inna your heart

You surely must win

If you bleach fi your skin

You bow to the system

Don’t bleach

To reach to the top

Go up there even if your black black black

Don’t bleach

Go up there even if your black black black

Me have a skin condition

But fi me in the opposite direction
