[Intro: Nomagugu]
My name is black
And I don't crack
(I must be...)
[Chorus: Nomagugu]
I told you I'm black, ain't never gon' crack (Will never)
I told you I'm black ain't never gon' crack (Will never ever)
Black never gon' crack (Will never ever)
No, it don't crack (Will never ever)
[Refrain: Nomagugu]
You see I'm black
Ngumuntu omnyama, ngyiqhawe
I'm beautiful because I'm black
[Verse 1: Nomagugu]
I got Shaka Zulu in my blood
Steve Biko my consciousness
Sarah Baartman beauty curves
What you heard?
Them Mandelas got all of them hating, they so mad
Tryna figure out how am I slaying?
I told you I'm black
[Chorus: Nomagugu]
I told you I'm black, ain't never gon' crack (Will never)
I told you I'm black ain't nevеr gon' crack (Will never evеr)
Black never gon' crack (Will never ever)
No, it don't crack (Will never ever)
[Verse 2: Erick Rush]
I got Shaka Zulu in my conscious
Even Martin would say I'm a prophet
Malcom x said beware nonsense
Nat turner told me that i was God sent
Nelson mandela told me watch me pockets
My OGs told me be ready to pop it
I'm a black male
They thought all we could do was crack sells
But look at how hip hop and rap sells
They tried to throw me in a packed cell
But I'm back here like A freeman
Barack Obama said yes we can
So lets do it
I'm getting tired tired of seeing my history ruined
Go to Egypt and see all of the Ruins
I told you I'm black
[Refrain: Nomagugu]
You see I'm black
Ngumuntu omnyama, ngyiqhawe
I'm beautiful because I'm black
[Chorus: Nomagugu]
I told you I'm black, ain't never gon' crack (Will never)
I told you I'm black ain't never gon' crack (Will never ever)
Black never gon' crack (Will never ever)
No, it don't crack (Will never ever)
[Bridge: Erick Rush & Nomagugu, & Erick Rush]
Look at the melanin
Look at the melanin ayy
Look at the melanin
Look at the melanin
Look at the melanin ayy
Look at the melanin ayy
Look at the melanin
Look at the melanin
Look at the melanin
Look at the melanin
Look at the melanin
Check out the melanin
Look at the melanin
The melanin
Look at the melanin
Look at the melanin
[Outro: Erick Rush]
Being black is not a matter of pigmentation
Being black is a reflection of a mental attitude
You heard me?
