I guess I can see why you want to stay, like a bad noise
I guess I can see why you looked this way, you had no choice
I am melanin, I am copper skin, I am African, I am golden
I am love inside, I am full of pride and I will not hide I am golden

I guess I can see why you think that you, you can have this
Your ancestors taught you I'm less than you, which is madness
I am melanin, I am copper skin, I am African, I am golden
I am love inside, I am full of pride and I will not hide I am golden

I will not, he will not, he cannot stay down
I will not, he will not, he cannot
Stay down
I will not (I will not)
He will not (He will not)
We cannot (We cannot)
Stay down
I will not (I will not)
He will not (He will not)
We cannot (We cannot)
Stay down
Stay down (Down)

(Stay down)
Stay down (Down)
Stay down

I guess I can see why you want a taste of my blackness
That fact that you can't wear it for a day is just madness
I can see you stare when my hips they flare at my kinky hair and my blackness
I am black and proud and sing it loud let the love resound I'm a goddess

You thinking my culture is something you can have, like a product
Like you can wash it off when it don't suit your hand, it can't be bought
You can't help but stare when my hips they flare at my kinky hair and my blackness
I am black and proud and sing it loud let the love resound I'm a goddess

I will not, he will not, he cannot
Stay down
I will not, he will not, he cannot
Stay down
I will not (I will not)
He will not (He will not)
We cannot (We cannot)
Stay down
I will not (I will not)
He will not (He will not)
We cannot (We cannot)
