Black Man, I Love You

Black Man I love You

I may not know you from a can of paint

But black man I love you

Your goofiness

Your crooked smile

Your strength even when you don’t feel strong

Black man I got you

When everyone has left I will be there

I promise

Black man you are heard

You’re cry for help rings in my ears

Fueling my tears, fueling my fire

To fight for you

Black man don’t you know I’d die for you

When you’re in pain

Seek solace in me

When you’re afraid

Trust me to be the jacket that keeps you afloat

Pull the strength you didn’t know you had to use as our boat

Hold your hand as we journey to glory
