Black history is not blackIts multi-colored
A combined effort did we say
Strange bed fellows
Mix that up twist it up
Combined what you became
History that's still a mystery, misery
Lest you forget the tie's that bind
The chains that freedom held
The sweat and dust off of his and her back
Dropped to earth to procreate build
Release relinquish we the people
Who engineered our nation
And created desegregation
But complained about migration
Isn't that what we are
Foot soldiers on the road
Universally inclined to meet
At the beginning
Some say the end
But what was created is no mistake
Fashioned our fate jointly
And greet our ancestors our creators who
Knew what they were up to when they
Threw us in the pot together forever nobility
They knew what beauty was made of
Outside inside ebony brown caramel vanilla tinted
With the sun, inside our history no mystery
Black history lets rename it
America's nobility
