We celebrate life,
We celebrate pain.
With decades of torture,
Suffering and hard-work;
The sun rises on a new day,
Where a black man can marry a white woman.
Where black kids can go to college.
It's all we ever wanted;
Respect, approval, and equality.
Being black means a lot;
It means pain, torture, pride and history.
It also mean beauty, passion, art jazz, rap and dancing.
Equality among the races-we're all black, white, purple green?
Does it matter?
We're all people.
Big or small,
Tall or short,
White or colored.
