If I had a chance to choose br The day before I came to being br I would've asked all mighty JAH br To please, make me black br br As black as the night br Because the night is beautiful br As black the sea br Because my thoughts run as deep br br As black as the soil br Because my spirit is as rich br As black as the cloud of rain br Because my sweat feeds the earth br br Black, brown eyes, woolly hair br Black, big nose, thick lips br That I may swallow the rainbow br And radiate ultra-freedom raysbr br LLM Mbathabr br
