Yes, against all odds have we existed,
Against the fiercest oppositions have we remained,
And when you look at the dusty lanes of the universe,
Our footprints not washed off by the tidal current of times waters, remain diverse,
We stand tall in beauty so sure,
Beauty unrefined and pure,
Through the darkness of brutality and artificiality,
Our black skin shines out with originality,
'Cos through it all, our mothers, strong, birthed a bright and beautiful future,
So our maidens are ravishing in nature,
And our daughters perfect in profile and posture,
Yes we stand tall in leadership undenied,
And celebrate victims recognized,
'Cos when the spotlights come on,
We shall carry on, unafraid and undaunted,
And when the stage is set,
We remain the sure bet,
We walk with a swagger,
And even on a bumpy path would not stagger,
'Cos we refused to be drained,
And we refused to be waned,
And when the history of time is retold to the next generation,
Our story would be told without reservation,
'Cos we ride in a pride we call our own; The Black Pride,
And we live in a skin perpetually ours; so we remain Eternally Black!
