Almeda

about this song

"Almeda" is a celebration of black identity, culture and ownership. The song establishes the importance of black-owned businesses, goods, and faith, which cannot be washed or erased despite the racist history and events. The repeated lines of pouring and sipping brown liquor, referring to the color of black skin, are an assertion of pride in blackness. The lyrics also reference Florida water, which is a traditional spiritual cleansing product used in the African American community.
