Lyrics
[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
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
[Verse 3]
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
[Verse 4]
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
[Verse 5]
I will not, we will not, we cannot stay down
I will not, we will not, we cannot stay down
I will not, we will not, we cannot stay down
I will not, we will not, we cannot stay down
Stay down
[Verse 6]
Stay down
[Verse 7]
I guess I can see why you want a taste
Of my blackness
The fact that you can wear it for a day
Is just madness
[Verse 8]
I can see you stare where my hips they flare
At my kinky hair and my blackness
I am black and proud, and I'll sing it loud
Let that love resound, I'm a goddess
[Verse 9]
You think my culture's 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
[Verse 10]
You can't help but stare where my hips they flare
At my kinky hair and my blackness
I am black and proud, and I'll sing it loud
Let that love resound, I'm a goddess
[Verse 11]
I will not, we will not, we cannot stay down
I will not, we will not, we cannot stay down
I will not, we will not, we cannot stay down
I will not, we will not, we cannot stay down
[Verse 12]
Stay down
[Verse 13]
Stay down
