Black Child
Raises from the ashes of destruction
Black Child
Tethered to the arm of injustice
Black Child
Consumed with the passion of his ancestors
Black Child
Oppressed by the one track mind of society
Enslaved by the manifest of what black should be
Black Child
Rebels against conformity
Seeks out his black individuality
Black Child
Escapes from the cells created by the hands of man
Exhilarating freedom, now he stands
Before you as a
Black Child
Born a Prince but lives the life of a pauper
His wealth is in his skin
Overflowing knowledge from within
He is the Black Child
Black Child
Tethered to the arm of injustice
Black Child
Consumed with the passion of his ancestors
Black Child
Oppressed by the one track mind of society
Enslaved by the manifest of what black should be
Black Child
Rebels against conformity
Seeks out his black individuality
Black Child
Escapes from the cells created by the hands of man
Exhilarating freedom, now he stands
Before you as a
Black Child
Born a Prince but lives the life of a pauper
His wealth is in his skin
Overflowing knowledge from within
He is the Black Child
