They come in all colors and shades,
They have Afro's, cornrows and low-cut fades.
Dreads, waves like back in the day,
A Mandingo warrior some might say.

He might be five feet or six nine,
A muscular body, and he is fine.
A walk and a look some don't understand
That's the uniqueness of a black man.

Caramel brown, or dark chocolate dipped, with sexy eyes,
Some with balds heads,and sexy thick thighs.
Some are laid back, and going with the flow,
Some have found their way, and some still don't know.

A black man that will keep food on the table,
Doing what he must, when not physically able.
Standing by your side, holding your hand,
I love you my brother, the black man.

Remaining faithful, and suppressing your urges,
Knowing how to pray when your fear emerges.
You put your faith in God and feel renewed,
Oh!!! black man I truly adore you.

My black brother you are a shining star,
You have a mighty presence whenever you are.
You walk to the beat of the African drum,
Sister's know where I am coming from.

Know that I am your sister..your Queen,
You are a masterpiece, that invades my dreams.
You mesmerize me and I'm coming undone,
Your eyes burning into me, makes me warm like the sun.

Black man, you like roots you keep growing,
I love you my brother, and keep knowing.
Like a tree planted by the water you shall not be moved,
Black man you are beautiful, and have your own groove.

Know that I am proud to walk down the street and hold your hand,
From your rib I came, and understand.
We are like Ozzie Davis and Ruby Dee,
That's the picture I would love to see.
I will give you my very essence, as much as I can,
Know that you are loved my brother "A Black Man".

VIDEO: Nicki Minaj LEVITATES & EXORCIZES For "Roman Holiday" GRAMMY Performance

Nicki Minaj "rapped" while suspended in mid-air (never seen that before) on the Grammys Sunday night for an over-produced performance of "Roman Holiday." Watch it inside....

Nicki Minaj (who arrived with "The Pope" & Sarafee) gave a churchy performance of "Roman Holiday" at the Grammys tonight.  And it seemed like she was attempting to do the 2012 even more controversial version of Madonna's "Like A Prayer."

There's a fine line between creativity and hoopla because you can. The performance was ahrd to follow, especally witht he minute and a half "mini movie" she showed and then switched into levitation and holy water for the on stage performance.

Grab your Bibles and watch the performance here:

VIDEO: Chris Brown JOINS David Guetta, Foo Fighters And Deadmau5 For DANCE PARTY MASHUP At The Grammys

 

After performing "Beautiful People" earlier in the night, Chris Brown returned to the stage a second time for a dance party mashup (the first one the Grammys ever had) that got a little crazy. See all the crazy fun inside......

Chris Brown, who won Best R&B Album for F.A.M.E., copped the Best R&B Album award from Common & Taraji P. Henson.  Then he returned to the stage with a wild crazy international dance party that featured David Guetta, Foo Fighters and Deadmau5.


 

But first, he caught up with Stevie Wonder backstage.


 

Then is was time to dance!  He came out as Breezy DMC:

 

Watch the performance here and watch for a Lil' Wayne cameo at the end:

GRAMMY VIDEO: Jennifer Hudson Sings "I Will Always Love You" In Tribute To Whitney Houston

Asked to perform a task that many would feel is impossible, Jennifer Hudson took the stage at Sunday night's GRAMMY Awards to pay tribute to the late Whitney Houston.

 

Pics and video from her performance inside...

 

Jennifer looked wonderful in this look she decided to take the stage in.  And she tapped into her stage presence to perform a 2 minute rendition of Whitney's "I Will Always Love You."

It was definitely heartfelt and her own spin on a classic.  It was more simplistic than Jen's usual but beautiful.  No one else was added to the tribute, including Chaka Khan.  And afterwards, Jen seemed emotional as she got a Standing O.

Here's the video below:
