Black Joy By Kaleb Nichols See I’m happy I’m not happy because I got a 4.0 Or because I got the newest kicks No I’m happy because of what this is I’m black And dammit I’m beautiful Handsome, I’m all of the above This golden sun reflective black skin is beyond a gift, how could my people not be happy ! See This black skin don’t weight me down, nahhh N#@!* it’s lifts me up How could Y’all not be happy with this African blood that lingers within us We carry the world in culture regardless if they tried to bring us over in ships N#@!* we set the wave!! And all they did was throw trash in it But that won’t ruin my black joy You see My black joy is built off years and years of hard work of my family, who made the most out of the October 2019 The URBAN EXPERIENCE 21 See my people have crawled through ever obstacles no matter the rut This BOLDNESS carried on my Skin is for sure to wake every eye up This joy will carry a smile on my face regardless of what y’all think of us
