Beautiful Blackness
Feb 25, 2018In honor of Black History Month, Roberto performed a poem entitled “Beautiful Blackness” and blew us all away! The words are below and a viewer’s recording included here, also.
BEAUTIFUL BLACKNESS
Sweet juice drips from the BLACKberry on full lips
Adding to our fullness
And it’s just so BEAUTIFUL
BLACK excellence on screen in 2018
Love what we’re seeing
Cause it looks so BEAUTIFUL
Finally getting shine at the Grammys
It was long overdue and we’re moved
Cause the music is BEAUTIFUL
If we don’t say it who will?
Let’s keep it real, we got a history that they don’t teach the children
And it’s BEAUTIFUL
Round nose, dark tone, BEAUTIFUL
Hair on fleek, all-natural
Girl, that’s BEAUTIFUL
Me, I got locs and they’re BEAUTIFUL
Shorty got a fade
And the wave game flow so BEAUTIFUL
African names like Okpara, Naima, Olamide
You know what I’mma say
That’s BEAUTIFUL
BLACK Heritage Celebration
The embracing of BLACK achievement
Throughout generations
4 flowers from a little BLACK boy that sees a BLACK man
And thinks to himself
United we stand
Salute the former First Lady (Michelle Obama)
When they go low, we go high
The soul of BLACK folks, it don’t die
Like Maya Angelou, Still I Rise
That’s BEAUTIFUL
Her words left a legacy like she’s still alive
I’m BLACK and beautiful and still alive (yea)
I’m BLACK and beautiful and still alive (yea)
I’m BLACK and beautiful and still alive (yea)
BLACK is beautiful and so alive
