A man must be strong to live long
Shake the negative vibe, try to stay alive
But I never said it would be easy
Living in a system that you can't win
Cause by the time you're old and slow
Folks hardly wanna say hello
But since we've got a pride
We'll survive
We believe in the black beauty
Shake the negative vibe, try to stay alive
Wherever you go
Please, please remember
You can't be good, be careful
Just be joyful
We've come a long way
And still are here
We've been through all the stress
All the stress, all the stress and fears
Since we've got a pride
We'll survive
We believe
In the black beauty
Black beauty
Forever
Shake the negative vibe, try to stay alive
Wherever you go
Please remember
Giants by your side
Try to stay alive
Cause by the time you're old
You can't be good, be careful
And so long
Know the system
Don't wanna see your face no more
Since we've got a fight
We'll survive
We believe
In the black beauty
Shake the negative vibe
Try to stay alive
My brother, be strong
Stand firm in your struggles
Jumping out of hurdles
Shed all your burdens
Some might say it's easier said
Than done
But our race
Our race is much harder to rest around
But since we've got a fight
We'll survive
Cause we believe
In the black beauty
Shake the negative vibe
Try to stay alive
A man must be strong
To live long
Living it to the fullest
Know the system
Know that you can't win
Wherever you go
Please remember
You can't be good, be careful
If you just be careful
A man must be strong
Shake the negative vibe
Try to stay alive
A man must be strong
A man must be strong
A man must be strong
A man must be strong
A man must be strong
