Lyrics

Before they gave God a face…
Before they gave God a colour…
We remembered…..,,
I come from rhythm older than borders
Breath older than empire walls
A memory carried through bloodlines
Still rising every time we call
They taught division like religion
Made us question who we are
But no amount of fear could silence
The frequency inside our hearts
Because Black is not absence
Black is origin
Black is cosmos before light entered it
Being Black is power and memory
Soul fire living inside of me
A rhythm that survived chains
A truth that still remains
Being Black is breath and vibration
Ancient roots beyond colonisation
I was never meant to forget
I am the code they couldn't erase yet
I come from songs they tried to bury
Voices they tried to disappear
But every drumbeat kept on breathing
Every spirit still is here
Kingships built through soul connection
Joy created in the pain
Freedom living in the body
Not something money can contain
And somewhere underneath the noise
The ancestors still speak
Being Black is power and memory
Soul fire living inside of me
A rhythm that survived chains
A truth that still remains
Being Black is breath and vibration
Ancient roots beyond colonisation
I was never meant to forget
I am the code they couldn't erase yet
I am descended from survival
From prayers whispered through impossible nights
From hands that turned suffering into art
Silence into music
Pain into movement
Memory into freedom
The world taught separation
But my spirit remembers unity
Being Black is more than survival
It's creation, spirit, revival
A joy that sings even in chains
A light no empire could contain
Being Black is sacred remembering
The soul returning, awakening
After all that's said and done
I remember who I am
Black was never something to fear…
Black was the beginning…..
