letra de what is black (stereo promo version) - billy proctor

Loading...

[intro]
i wanna tell you about my little brother
his eyes have never seen the light of day
he’s never seen the world that we all know
’cause my little brother was born that way
he asked me a question not long ago
that kinda set me back
he said, “tell me brother, tell me please
tell me, what is black?”

[verse 1]
i told him, “black is the good smell of our mama’s cooking
black is you, boy, and you’re so good looking
you don’t have to see it, you can feel it deep inside (deep inside)
it’s burning in your veins, filling you with pride”

[chorus]
the blacker the brown, the richer the earth
the blacker the pearl, the more that it’s worth
the blacker the brown, the the richer the earth
i said the blacker the pearl
what is black?
(what is black?)

[verse 2]
“black is your birthright, a gift you’ve been given
cherish it, brother, as long as you are living
it’s the cries of a baby, it’s our tears and misery (misery)
it’s names like “king” and heavens, he died for you and me”

[chorus]
the blacker the brown, the richer the earth
the blacker the pearl, the more that it’s worth
the blacker the brown, the richer the earth
i said the blacker the pearl

[verse 3]
“god really loves you ’cause in his image, you were made
then he painted you black, and that’s it baby, sing”

[chorus]
the blacker the brown, the richer the earth
the blacker the pearl, the more that it’s worth
the blacker the brown, the richer the earth
i said the blacker the pearl

[outro]
“pick up your head, your head little brother
you can feel it, it’s in the air, everywhere
so praise to the sun
let no man keep you down
your blackness is a blessing, wear it like a crown
your head, little brother, don’t let no one take it from you”
