It is an honour,
to be a black American,
in a white America

It is an honour,
to be a black American,
dragged into this country.

It is an honour,
to be a black American,
whose ancestors became pioneers.

It is an honour,
to be a black American,
no matter how strong the chains are.

it is an honour.

I will repeat.

It is an honour,
to be a black American,
in a white America
