Pride and Joy

Black the colour I came into this world with

I am pride

I am joy

I am everything that the darkness fear

I am pride

I am joy

As I become who I am

I am pride

I am joy

In a world that does not accept me

I am pride

I am joy

Black and gay

My end is written “tragedy”

But I am pride

I am joy

A son of the sun

A King without a kingdom

A ruler of unknown lands

I am pride

I am joy

The rainbow that shines through

I am pride

I am joy

With my head high up

I walk

I walk

I walk

Because I am pride

And I am joy
