“
So i heard its cool to be black again
smart driven and african
women wear hair raps again
and black power is a credible act again
but when wasnt it cool when wasnt it in
when people forgot about there true origins
when people thought red white and blue
and being red black and green wasnt cool
when it went commercial and the things that were seen
and how we were blind sided by an american dream
starvation mile nourished kid death and hate
the vision showed about people so great
people so strong from complextion to hair
the dedication and motivation we are people who care
we taught the world how to dance gave them music and all
we gave doctors medicine and real players of basketball
we gave the world style think about it for awhile
we gave you most and all of everything people do right now
so I heard its cool to be black again I say people forgot
I heard its cool to be black again PLEASE when was it not
