With piercing eyes
Where secrets lies
The diamonds to your soul
The dirt of the earth
From which we came
Creator of us all
Deeply rooted
Built of strength
A cypress tree so tall
You're the color of oil
Earth's black gold
That warms us every night
You're the end of the day
When shadow's cast away
A majestic black panther in flight
Sculptured hips
Thick full lips
The dark clouds before the rain
You're the midnight sky
With cheeks so high
A smile can hide your pain
Feet like brass
Hair like wool
The image of God
His soldier
Hands so big
Back so wide
Because you carry the world on your shoulders
You're the son of a king
A nation I bring
Till there's nothing more to give
So to you black man
Please understand
It is because of you…
I LIVE!!!
