I am black and beautiful
I don’t care what they say
I don’t care what they whisper
My people love me the way I am
And the flag of South Africa describe me the way I am
They call me black because
I am dark and beautiful
I am not afraid of who I am
People will love me and people will respect me
I will love myself before others say they do
Am rich and expensive
I will not bleach myself to become white
My skin color is the best gift from God
We are all the same
We must unite and help those who are in need
I am not someone’s slave to be played with
I am a person I must live like others
And today I must fight for my right am my color
