by Like Sandy Onor, Songs of the black men
As bright as dawn
as precious as Shawn
So thick is his hair
so lovely is his care
So gorgeous is his skin without blisters
he glitters without filters
He is the black man he has evolved
Yellow, white, or chocolate
there is nothing nicely than a black man
with deep black eyes
nose so pointed and wise
I know a black man
who would clasp our hands when danger shows up
Let the obidients and otudients
sing him praises
the mighty reclaimer is here
the star of the ejagham kingdom
the harmonizer ready to reclaim
ready to reclaim our stolen mandate
he is the people’s champion
When you look at my face
tell him that I’m visible when it matters
oh ye black men
your woman adores you
your people acknowledge you
let nothing in you rest
until you reclaim the mandate
Let the dundrun drum be displayed
without dismay and delay
nations are about to come to his rising!
Yeah he’s strong
he’s structured
He’s resilient
but he can’t accomplish it unaided
I tell you
a lot of goods come out from the ebony soul
black is an identity
