Black sunshine glowing in my veins Black sunshine glowing in my veins They don't want me to be great I'm gonna be great They don't want me to be great I'm gonna be great Black sunshine glowing in my veins Black sunshine glowing in my veins Bringing freedom to my name No longer a slave Bringing freedom to my name Bathing in the tears of the golden eye In the sky And my melanin is getting wet And like a sponge I'm absorbing ultraviolet forces As I reflect I remember back when my blackness Wasn't too attractive A young African messiah dying For the suns of being Black skinned Crucifixion given by the other Black kids Colorism was an old religion they Were practicing Where White washing is Baptism Back then it was all jokes Funny now how they're all woke To the Black sunshine that I radiate Even on a rainy day There's no hate for their shady ways In my DNA Cause my Black consciousness Genetically is dominant Black sunshine glowing in my veins Black sunshine glowing in my veins They don't want me to be great I'm gonna be great They don't want me to be great I'm gonna be great Black sunshine glowing in my veins Black sunshine glowing in my veins Bringing freedom to my name No longer a slave Bringing freedom to my name White supremacists are threatened They see the royal oil in my pigment Asa weapon But my character is nonviolent Like a Calm Riot That's a peaceful protest that I guess Matters less like Black Lives Just as long as I'm compliant My mental health needs a Strong diet Of bright ideas to keep me Strong minded Like a mine is Inside full of diamonds Outside is the finest Earth tone with a spirit like the Sky is I rule none, but I'm still the highness Why would I wanna be the flyest I'm a Black star, not a pilot I still shine for the ones misguided Putting money where their mouth is Call it Black silence Black sunshine glowing in my veins Black sunshine glowing in my veins They don't want me to be great I'm gonna be great They don't want me to be great I'm gonna be great Black sunshine glowing in my veins Black sunshine glowing in my veins Bringing freedom to my name No longer a slave Bringing freedom to my name
