Black boy
loud and proud
i see what it took for you to get here
i didn't always understand
now you help me to
its starting to make sense
sometimes i feel myself around the corner
edges blurred out
as if in a dream
i come back to you
every night
with your hand in mine
my body a cradle for yours
ambition, vision, passions
carve me out from a hill
I've always been whole
always will be
watch our whole cover a planet
remind it where it came from
rock it back to sleep
be a cradle for its rebirthing place
Black boy loud and proud
i see you clearer now
look how far you've come in our lifetime together
look how far we've yet to go
shit we've yet to let go
and yet we
grow
together
