Even though I might be
subject to racial attack
Even though certain people

Even though it might be
harder to reach to the top
I would never want to change the
fact that I'm black, cah me

Love we culture, love we music,

Everybody should be
proud of what they are
Be proud of yourself, proud of your colour
It was given to you by mother nature
Nobody can tell you that you're inferior
In a perfect world, it would not matter
Cause people would see people
for what they really are
But some people think they are superior
And that they come first and the rest after
But me as a man wouldn't
change me colour
Not for all the tea in the whole of
China
Not for all the mango in
Jamaica
Not for the gold in
South
Africa
Cause me love me black skin,

Love me thick lips, love me black nose

bottom of the pack
Anything you want you fi strive fi that
Don't make anybody try
to hold you back
With your pride and your dignity,
