00:00I'm blank
00:30At a pack I'm black at night
00:32I'm black at your pace
00:33And I'm black when you turn your back
00:35I'm black when you stand
00:37Black if you smile
00:39I was black back when it wasn't even in stock
00:41Blacker than before the movie starts
00:44During the trauma and the laughter
00:46The lighthearted jokes in the ends
00:48And I'm black right back after
00:49Blacker than being burned
00:51And I still didn't crack cracker
00:53I'm already black as hell
00:54And I go and act even blacker
00:57Blacker than right
00:58Blacker than wrong
01:00A work in progress
01:01A work of art
01:02But my black is not painted on me
01:05It's the way I was born
01:09They call me Race Joan
01:11Blacker than a pencil made of black lacquer
01:14Blacker than cancer
01:15Blacker than chewed up tobacco
01:18And the only reason I love blacker than Santa
01:21It's because Santa was my grandma
01:23And Santa was dinner
01:25So let it breathe
01:32I've often imagined
01:41My skin being lighter
01:44And the sun shining brighter
01:46My hair being longer
01:48And somewhere I belong to
01:50My house being bigger
01:52And I've been a nigga
01:53They will pay me to pay me
01:55Then it gets in my eyes and I can't see
01:57And my friends love me so much
01:58And they're afraid to say that it ain't me
02:00But they ain't me fake it
02:02Because they still need me to make it
02:04Get them a piece of your mind and not your heart
02:06Cause they'll break it
02:08Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
03:38We're right back.
