Black Like Me Lyrics

Chorus:
Coffee stay black
Just like me
Don’t need no..
sugar
Don’t need no...
cream
Coffee stay black
Just like me

Black like me x 8




Verse 1
Coffee stay black like me uh huh
Melanin pop like gleam from sun
Black like me like Jesus huh
Oh my God I’m seasoned

I thank God I aint plain he made me a zany way
It’s many colors he painted but it’s mine today
That I’m, thanking him for, It’s, so many hues
I, might have to get two, Double up on that juice

Berries the caries dark magic
touched by vibranium
The coffee come from kemet
it’s limitless like our cranium’s curls

Our babies ain’t no maybes Jesus gave me my favorite notes
Cupping my covers beauties they got a lot with the ghost
They got a lot of that heart
I got a lot for the cocoa butter to cover so I thank him for those

Uh huh
Pumping the hemoglobin They told me we black like evil
So I had to stack they devils
Or devils I come with Evers and levels
I shuck they stairs off to make that sure that they never come back with that
And then I tell em to get a cup of that blackity black

Chorus:
Coffee stay black
Just like me
Don’t need no..
sugar
Don’t need no...
cream
Coffee stay black
Just like me

Black like me x 8

Verse 2
They thought they could take it huh?
They harvesting organs like Whole Foods for the melanated
they snatching our babies huh?
And then we turn and tell sister she ain’t paper bag enough

That’s crazy

Glad made us black

Black the Oromo
Black like seat on popo
Black like aromas on
Them nights we used to pour up

Allah seata yoymo
My Spirit speak in Many tongues
My people take many blows
But we be like many suns

Shining even when they yawn
Ironing even when they lying when they mining all our cobalt and coffee like our melanin
But We be flying like a rocket
when the spirit come inside he tell us unlock all our lockets we just

shine like the cocoa hues
Tasting notes got many blues
Coffee stay with the blues
But we come back and choose
to be
What were made to be
and they can never take the makers gleam up off me.
Chorus:
Coffee stay black
Just like me
Don’t need no..
sugar
Don’t need no...
cream
Coffee stay black
Just like me

Black like me x 8
