lirik lagu steero - black is beautiful
[verse 1]
yo, i’m talking about brown skin and long hair
teachers say it’s ugly, but why should you care
i left school ’cause it happens a lot there
and it’s all ’cause i’m black and that’s not fair
if you have an afro, then prepare
to be a victim, ’cause it happens everywhere
i’ve had my hair pulled, suspension and dentention
got scared, started avoiding any detection
i was called a clown at inspection
they want us to be ashamed at our reflection
i’m proud of myself outside and within
from my ears, eyes, my nose and my skin
i’ve been told no one cares if i died
but look at me now, i survived and i thrived
everyday same thing, different teacher
they wanted my mom’s number
but they couldn’t reach her when they tried to dial
they tried time after time
besides, why my parents number the hair is mine
they tell you “cut it”, and let me tell you why
they want you to cut it, ’cause they know it’s the vibe
[chorus]
(we black)
so i suggest you be cautious
(we concious)
and we won’t take your nonsense
(we black)
and we’re proud
(we black)
and so we’re cool
(in fact)
we young gifted and black, it’s beautiful
(we black)
so i suggest you be cautious
(we concious)
and we won’t take your nonsense
(we black)
and we’re proud
(we black)
and so we’re cool
(in fact)
we young gifted and black, it’s beautiful
[verse 2]
i thought in high school it would change
but to my surprise, it was still the same
i got in trouble on the first day
i was confused and didn’t know what to say
a boy told me, “do what madam says”
and i replied, “not in a million years”
they must [?] never see my tears
stand up for yourself, that’s my message to my peers
if not hair, then it’s accusations
you are always a suspect in every situation
you can ask my friend [?], they take through h-ll
if not, you’re expelled
it’s supposed to be cool, but school is not cool
i’m not a fool ’cause i don’t live by their rule
be proud of your crown, that’s how god made you
love yourself, especially when they hate you
they only bring you down, ’cause you’re above ’em
they think it’ll be easy, ’cause you’re a youngin’
appreciate you, i’ll tell you why
they wanna break you, ’cause they know you’re devine
[chorus]
(we black)
so i suggest you be cautious
(we concious)
and we won’t take your nonsense
(we black)
and we’re proud
(we black)
and so we’re cool
(in fact)
we young gifted and black, it’s beautiful
(we black)
so i suggest you be cautious
(we concious)
and we won’t take your nonsense
(we black)
and we’re proud
(we black)
and so we’re cool
(in fact)
we young gifted and black, it’s beautiful
