Beautiful black babies ...I dont want to lose you
With these words ..I don't want to confuse you
I want to move you
To a place of positive improvement
If you follow the movement
Cuz your eyes ...see my vision
My ears hear ..when you wont listen
So I'm extra careful
Because it's you that I care for
And I know..some of ya'll have mothers and fathers
That dont want to be bothered
Cuz they was just too young ...when they had you
It wasnt really love ...but because they had to
That's why they cuss you out instead of smile
This is the life of a unwanted child
Being raised by by sisters and brothers
Thank God for the grandmothers
That stepped in
When you didnt want her ...and left him
But the kids get too old
For you to keep them in control
They end up on parole
Because their childhood was stole
Beautiful black babies I think I lost you
I dont wanna cry ..but I think I ought to
Your world is so auful
You're given chances .. and their not taken
You dont know love ...just filled with hate ..and
Pain and ..unseen scars
Do you even know who you are
Can you live up to your full potential
Yes .. cuz' it was God who sent you
But all your life you watched ...daddy ..get hi
So you dont want to get ..there ..you want to get ...by
Nobody ever praised you
So you look for love ..and let the streets raise you
You're angry when mom puts her man ahead of you
Treats him ..better than you
But I came here today to give you this fact
No matter what ..you are ..beautifully black
Cuz there is a God that's a father to the fatherless
In any situation and regardless
Of who you are or where you came from
He knows your heart ...and you're the same one
That hurt ...that cried
Even thought about suicide ...but you didnt die
You survived... through the torture ..the teasing
He kept you here for a reason
Throught his grace ..and your believing
You can do all things through christ
You was blind ...but now you have sight
He picked you up and turned you in a circle
And no weapon formed against you ... will hurt you
Or prosper
Nothing in this world can stop you ...or block you
From being faithful
In his likeness he created you
Let him save you ... like he saved me
Give glory to God ....and....my beautiful black babies
