letra de black is beautiful - mayyadda

[verse 1]
my mama used to tell to love the skin i’m in
i didn’t always understand her, i didn’t always listen
but now i know better
now i know better
i didn’t like my curls that grew up to the sun
because i wanted to fit in and look like everyone
else around me
until i found me

[chorus]
ebony chocolate or café au lait
our skin is gorgeous, no matter what they say
so block out the noise, hear the voice
of god who made us well
as he whispers to you, let it break through
and know your black is beautiful
it’s beautiful

[verse 2]
this world holds so much danger for people with this skin
’cause people stay trying to put out the light we have within
but we can’t let them
no, we can’t let them
see rosa, martin, malcolm all did what they could
we gotta rise up, fight back, stand where they stood
’cause it’s our duty
to proclaim our beauty
[chorus]
ebony chocolate or café au lait
our skin is gorgeous, no matter what they say
so block out the noise, hear the voice
of god who made us well
as he whispers to you, let it break through
and know your black is beautiful

[bridge]
we are maya’s brilliance
nelson’s resilience
and with harriet’s strength, we move
we are ruby’s daring
with voices worth sharing
like billie and mahalia
so sing it loud, sing it proud, oh-oh, oh, oh

[outro]
oh, woah, it’s beautiful
woah, woah, so beautiful, oh
we’re beautiful
and know your black is beautiful
