Kiss My Black Arts

Inspired by Visual artist Rtystk #kissmyblackarts

Filled with soul
Colorful and vibrant
Alive
Divine creative flow
Black art is that rock and roll, hip hop
Jazz and R&B soul
Black art is Chuck berry, Little Richard and those that go unnamed
Black art is that cookout music
That holy ghost music
Gospel sung in churches without any Black faces
Black art is that spiritual that cracked your heart open and had you praying to your maker
Black Art is up in your face
That jungle fever, Niggas with Attitude
Don’t believe the hype and Do it in the butt
Black Art is that caged bird that sings and the coldest Winter Ever
That strange Fruit and Native Son
Black Art made you Lindy hop and wonder what’s going on?
Made you twist and shout
Black Art refuses to be “othered” and only “urban”
Hip hop your ass around the world
To see cyphers in native tongues
Pop locking, Harlem shaking back to their humanity
Black Arts is that Zora Neale Hurston Phillis Wheatley
Audre Lorde and those that go unnammed
Black art is Passionate , fiery and commands authority
Black Arts draws you in and is sexy
It is that Grace Jones, that Josephine Baker and Zane chronicles
Black art made you turn off the lights and get a sexual healing
Black art is the language of shizzles, rhythmic flows, finger snaps and skatting
Black art is history and present
Black art will tell the truth when everyone is lying
Black art is the voice of the people past and present
Really the closest thing to being Black without being Black
Black art will tell the truth when everyone is lying
