A man must be strong, to live long

Shake the negative vibe, trying to stay alive

But I never said it would be easy

Living in a system that you can't win

But by the time you know and slow

Folks hardly want to say hello

But since we've got our pride we'll survive

We believe in the black beauty



Shake the negative vibe trying to stay alive

Wherever you go please remember

If you can't be good be careful be joyful

Oh we've come a long way and still here

Been through all the stress

And all the stress and fears

But since we've got our pride

We'll survive we believe in the black beauty



Shake the negative vibe trying to stay alive

Wherever you go please remember

That Jah is on your side trying to stay alive

Cause by the time you go and slow

The system didn't wanna see you wanna see you

Wanna see you no more but since we got our pride

We believe in the black beauty



Shake the negative vibe trying to stay alive

My brother move on

And stand firm in your struggle

Jumping all the hurdle shed your burden

I might say it's easier said than done

Oh but our race is a hard race to run

But if you got your pride you'll survive

If you believe in your black beauty
