Beautiful Minds ft. Zebrina Anderson Lyrics

Dear world

On behalf of my ancestors who contributed to making this world a better place

You're welcome

Because where would we be without them

Can you imagine looking at your phone and not seeing who's calling you

Thanks to Dr. Shirley Jackson, we don't have to

Shout out caller ID

Marie VB Brown invented the first home security system

So we could feel safe at sound at the house

And the reason why light bulb didn't going out after only a few minutes

Is because of Lewis Latimer's carbon filament

Frederick Jones created the mobile cooling unit to preserve food on long trips

George Speck and sister brought the world potato chips

Alexander Miles didn't create the elevator but he elevated it more

By inventing the automatically opening and closing doors

Which undoubtedly saved many lives

My ancestors are responsible for innovations you may never have realized

The traffic signal with three lights

The device to remove cataracts and restore sight

The first cartridge gaming console

The euphonica guitar, rock and roll

The mailbox, dry cleaning, the modern ironing board

Blood banks, the super soaker, folding chairs and so many more

Every black innovation

Known and unknown deserves a standing ovation

Gratitude and recognition

Lest we forget the significance of these gifts

An undeniable impact made brick by brick

So to my ancestors

And all the black people who blessed this world with their contributions

Thank you

Did you know

Did you know

You're a beautiful mind

You're a beautiful mind

You're a beautiful mind

You're a beautiful mind

And nothing can take it away

Nothing can take it away

Did you know

You're a beautiful mind

You're a beautiful mind

You're a beautiful mind

You're a beautiful mind

Did you know

Did you know

Did you know

You're a beautiful mind

Beautiful mind

You're a beautiful mind

You're a beautiful mind

Beautiful mind

You're a beautiful mind
