From 100% black stallion to vanilla ice cream cone,
the phenomenal black woman shall not bear the throne alone.
There's a new stranger in town that has society on a roll.
Lookout! It's the phenomenal man who's rising and taking control.
It's the suave motion in my walk that you ladies mistook for a twist.
A phenomenal man I am cause I'm there at your every wish.
It's that diploma or that degree you mistook for a crack pipe,
erasing the wounds of bitter history and adding the soothes of a clean wipe.
Are black males extinct?
In this society that's a lie 'cause in every city in our world
black phenomenal men shall rise.
From Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity to the canes of Kappa Alpha Psi,
from the peace of Phi Beta Sigma to the perseverence of Omega Psi Phi,
from the campus of Howard University to the pride of Texas A&M,
from the rugged streets of Crenshaw to the tough streets of Harlem.
Phenomenal men roam God's green Earth, so ladies look as you wish.
You may cross over to other races but black is always the main dish.
Phenomenal men are making a comeback, just you wait and see.
From being the white man's burden to being a black man with a degree.
It's the broad shoulders on my body that support my level head.
Extinct? I think not!
Phenomenal men are never dead.
It's the boom in my voice, the piercing glare in my eyes.
It's the persistent motion of my success
'cause phenomenal men are determined to rise.
There's a new stranger in town that has society on a roll.
Lookout ladies! It's the phenomenal man,
there to help you rise and take control!
From the plantation to the corporation, phenomenal men show their faces.
From purgatory to the laboratory, phenomenal men come in all races.
But it's the black phenomenal man that's triumphing over all.
Rising from the word "colored" that was printed on the wall.
As God as my witness, we black men shall prevail.
Making a mighty grand entrance in which everyone shall hail.
There's a new stranger in town that has society on a roll.
Stand up and give props to the black phenomenal man,
here to rise and take control.
