I Aint Mad At'Cha
Why did you make me Black Lord?
Lord...why did you make me Black ?
Why did you make somone the world would hold back?
Black is the color of dirty clothes,of grimy hands and feet...
Black is the color of darkness of the tire beaten streets!
Why did you give me thick lips, a broad nose and kinky hair?
Why did you create someone who dreceives the hated stare?
Black is the color of the bruised eye when someone gets hurt...
Black is the color of darkness, Black is the color of dirt.
Why is my bone structure so thick?
My hips and cheeks so high?
Why are my eyes brown, and not the color of the sky?
Why do people think I'm usless?
How come I feel so used?
Why do people see my skin and think I should be abused?
Lord, I just dont understand...
What is it about my skin?
Why is it some people want to hate me
and not know the person within?
Black is what people are 'labled'
When others want to keep them away
Black is the color of shadows cast...
Black is the end of the day.
Lord you know my people mistreat me,
And you know this just aint right...
They dont like my hair, they dont like my skin,
As they say I'm "too dark" or "too light!"
Lord,dont you think
It's time to make a change?
Why dont you redo creation
And make everyone the same?

Why did I make you Black?
I made you the color of coal
From which beautiful dimonds are formed...
I made you the color of oil,
The black gold that keeps people warm!
Your color is the same as the rich dark soil
That grows the food you need...
Your color is the same as the black stallion and panther,
Oh what majestic creatures indeed!
All the colors of the rainbow
Can be found throughout the nation...
When all these colors are blended,
You become my greatist creation!
Your hair is the texture of lambs wool,
Such a wonderful creature is he...
I am the shepard who watches them,
I will always watch over thee!
You are the color of the midnight sky,
I put the star glitter in your eyes...
There's a hidden smile hidden behind your pain...
Thats why your cheak bones are so high!
You are the color of dark clouds
from the hurricanes I create in September...
I made your lips so full so thick,
so when you kiss...they will remember!
Your stature is strong,
Your bone structure thick to withstand the burdin of time...
The reflection you see in the mirror,
That image that looks back, that is mine!
So get off your knees
Look in the mirror and tell me what you see?
I didn't make you in the image of darkness,
I made you in the image of me!
