BLACK

“Black”

I took a look in their little “Black Book” and what did I see?

That we’re just a bunch of “Black Sheep” in the dictionary

“Black balled” into believing that evil is dark,

Mis-educating our children, leaving mental “Black Marks”

On this “Black Friday” I really must say,

This book should be on the “Black Market”….revised, Today!

To “Blacken” a people with such negative words,

Is mental “Blackballing”, but i don’t mind a “Blackbird”

Look in the “Black Book” at how they describe their race

Anything “Blackened” is attributed to your “Black Face”

Educationally “Blackmailed”, dispensing “Black Bile” ,

Hearing bad “Black” words so long, some accept it in style

Caucasian descriptions, giving us a “Black Eye” ,

And they say a “Black Panther” is a militant guy

“Black Art” is witchcraft, “Black Leg” a disease ,

A “Black Fellow” is an Aborigine….overseas

Do you live in the “Black Belt”? deep down in the southeast?

Or have you seen “Black Disease”? It’s fatal among beasts!

Have you ever been “Blackballed” or beaten “Black & Blue”?

The most sinuous dance in the roaring 20's was “Black Bottom”

……..Google it, it’s true!

If you go to “Black Mass”, well that’s just blasphemy

“Black Heart” is a disease bringing “Black Death” to a tree

Are we still under “Black Code”, limiting your rights?

Or have you heard of “Black Hand”, a criminal group, out of sight

“Black Measles” killed a lot of people way back in the past

A “Black -A- Moor” is a discoloration that last and last

A “Black Pope” is so offensive to the religious Klan ,

A “Black Muslim” advocates the separation of man

I feel like I’m a victim of verbal “Blackmail”

Is there a “Black” word in Webster’s for all the “Black” people in jail?

The “Black Book” said a “Black Guard” is contemptibly low ,

It also stated “Black Face” is to imitate a negro

So I’m working my “Black Magic” so our minds can be free

But look, wait, I’ve found something…

“Black Gold” !!! …..never mind, that’s just Texas Tea

They equate themselves to day and us to night

Why yes MJ, it really DOES matter if you’re “Black or white”

These are the words that we’re taught to know

Read deep between the lines and your mind will begin to grow

On a sunny day while you’re having that picnic in the park

Remember the light that’s shining, must also come to the dark

Whenever you’re in a group and you want to say it loud

Are you sure you want to be shouting, “I’m Black and I’m Proud”?

We’re varying shades of brown people, all of African descent

Thanks for the fake book Mr. Webster, now change it…...hint, hint, hint.
