I am black history

Verse 1)

Yo, I am the legacy of a proud history

From the motherland Africa, home of royalty

Kings and queens, scholars and warriors

Built empires, civilizations, no equals or followers

Chorus:

I am black history, written in the stars

From the pyramids to the White House, we’ve come far

I am black history, stories to be told

Of resilience, strength, and a spirit bold

(Verse 2)

I am the innovators, inventors, and creators

From George Washington Carver to Madam C.J. Walker

I am the freedom fighters, from MLK to Malcolm X

Standing up for justice, equality and respect

Chorus:

I am black history, wisdom in my veins

African roots, intertwined with powerful names

I am black history, breaking down the chains

Overcoming oppression, surviving against the odds, it’s more than just a phase

(Verse 3)

I am the culture, music, and the rhythm

From jazz to hip-hop, we set the tempo in it

Art, literature, and the spoken word

Our voice is heard, now let the revolution be unfurled

Chorus:

I am black history, the past, the present, the future

Generations of progress, we’re the cultivators

I am black history, a beautiful mural

Celebrating our stories, our struggles, and our triumphs, it’s our world.
