Mickey Guyton - Black Like Me (Official Lyric Video) 

If you asked me a year ago if this song was ever going to be released or even given a chance, I probably would have said no. Yet here we are. What a blessing it is to be here in this moment. I hope you guys enjoy this lyric video for a song that came from the very depths of my heart. Love you guys. Thank you so so much for your continued love and support for this song.

I saw MG on TV this morning. I'm so proud of her! Me at 65 I sometimes feel I'm becoming invisible. Proud to be ,"Black Like Me"...and grey!

I may not be black however being a person who has struggled constantly to fit in due to learning and social differences. This song is very relatable. It often seems like so many people are on easy street where life is perfect. Not many people take the time to think about others struggles. Whether it be skin or other differences. We need to do better bec things we say matter the actions we do matter one little thing can change someone's life for the better or for the worse. How I wish we could change things and make it better overnight.

I'm not really into country music, but I saw this song just performed on the Grammy's. Absolutely blown away. Beautiful song with a powerful message.

I've never been touched by a song like this. Beautifully written, and nailed by the sweetest vocal

As a white guy, I can’t relate to this song, because I’ve never been treated differently due to my skin color. However I can be/am a supporter of the black community and I hope the day comes soon that we ALL are treated equally. This song itself is amazing! I hope it really does well and gets the message across.

This song actually brought tears to my eyes.

As a 12 year old girl I am proud to be black. My ancestors ran so we could walk. They fought so we could live. The world is changing and people need to accept that everything on this world is meant to be here. We are going to stand up for what's right. And we're gonna get equality no matter what it takes. #BlackLivesMatter isn't a trend it's something that will matter for ever. Are voices are going to be heard. We are going to live. We are going to make our ancestors proud.

Its about time she receives awards and recognition for her works. Class act!

Is anyone else here because of the Grammys? Social media shows us everything, bit the music industry is losing audiences because radio stations were the ones that promoted these new songs. Now I only find out when award shows are on. This is a good song

I just want to let ALL of my BLACK BROTHER and SISTERS know y’all have my love I will always have y’all back it’s despicable to me that my family has fought to keep this country free but my BROTHERS and SISTERS are still looked at as less than y’all are more than enough just how you are to me and many others keep reaching for the stars and trying to make your dreams come true much love to all of you I wish you nothing but love happiness and the success you all deserve From a brother who has nothing but love for all of you y’all always got me I’ll do whatever to fight for the peace love and justice y’all deserve

And I’m proud to be black like me 🖤🎤🎶. I love this song ✊🏾

I finally have a song I will proudly listen to my son with

Have country music fans at my place of work that play our local stations... funny I have never heard this song till I saw it on the Grammys. THANK YOU so much young lady, I can not tell you how proud of you, and this song, I am

That second section of her song talk about her dad... that was my dad as well. Thank you for this song.

Heard this song on the radio station in 🇨🇦 It's a beautiful song and deserves so much attention 💙

I had surgery on my brain and used this song for inspiration. Ty Mickey. I survived.

I m here from the Grammys! I fall in love! Go girl!!

Mickey Guyton is the truth and I feel her voice and applaud her feeling and sentiments. Black Like me is the truth

Such a powerful message Yes blacks have it hard in the South. It saddens my heart ❤️ People should be accepted no matter what race they are.

I have never been a fan of country music, not even close, to the point of hating it. But every once in a while, a CM song will land in my youtube feed that I actually like. This is one of those songs.

Absolutely love this song. We need to share the heck outta this song and get more play!

Everyone in this country needs to listen-and I mean REALLY LISTEN-to this song. Black, white, straight, gay, male, female, whatever, we are all children of God. We are brothers and sisters, and it’s long past time for us to start acting like it. God bless Mickey Guyton and every other person brave enough to stand up and say, “Enough.”

What a power song!!🔥🔥🔥🔥WITH THE BIGGEST FONT POSSIBLE..... THANK YOU!!!!

I heard this song on the Grammys and fell in love with it

I have no words...they are inadequate in expressing the myriad of emotions I have every time I listen to this powerful song. Thank you Mickey for allowing God to use your life experiences, the challenges in being black but never giving up. To stand proud in being different knowing that Jesus will one day make right every wrong that’s ever been done to our people.

Absolutely love your voice, your music, and your message! So happy I learned about you today in the Washington Post! ❤️❤️❤️ Keep telling your truth. People ARE listening! ❤️❤️❤️

I’m not a fan of country music but I’m really loving this song. Great message.

First, much respect for having the courage to even speak on something that has been swept under the carpet since the very 'rise' of country music! A form of music that incorporates the music of the early blues (BLACK FOLKS). DO YA'LL REALLY BELIEVE THAT SO CALLED COUNTRY MUSIC STARTED W/ THE EARLY WHITE COWBOYS...LOL?!!! If you believe that I have some desert land I'd like to sell you 10 miles above the earth. For decades now EVEN SO CALLED 'COUNTRY' folks don't even want to do 'country' line dancing w/out adding spice to it through more 'hip hop' & Black inspired dance movement being incorporated into it...lol! FACTS! And yet, these same folks have the audacity to not want to accept the very folks that they (not always...but more often than we realize) imitate! Anyone w/ a functional I.Q. KNOWS that the 'country music' industry is full of White folks who are culturally unaware of the b.s. that Black folks in the industry hafta go through just to get your foot in the door. I'm not in the industry. But I also know that you don't hafta step in a pile of dog poop to know that you don't want it on your shoes!! All white folks *obviously* are not racists (for you "He's a black guy saying racists stuff about White folks." types/ a.k.a. "Gotcha'" culture). As evidenced by the Abolitionist movement, white participants in the BLM, and countless more examples throughout our history as a Nation. Most White folks are decent, compassionate and loving folks. Who are non racist. Thank God! However, there are millions upon millions (country music industry is but a microcosm of our society) of White folks who are culturally insensitive to other ethnic values IN THIS COUNTRY to the point that the blatant disrespect is oblivious to them. This doesn't make them racist...it makes them culturally insensitive. There is a difference. One is fueled by malicious intent (racism). The other is unintended. But guess what...the result is the same...DISRESPECT! Example: How is it that we hafta STILL have slave owners on our currency in this day and age? Blatant disrespect to the descendants of slaves. Yet, Harriet Tubman on a $20 was not accepted...smh. And that's just one of over 50 examples that I can give. But as far as I can tell (1) most of the White folks who aren't racist have a high tolerance for it when they get around racists! Could it be because these racist LOOK like them, share (culturally) values? Could it be because a lot of these 'non racist' Whites often have parents, grandparents, siblings & very close loved one's who ARE racist? Which causes a conflict from w/in them? How do you convince someone to confront/correct the very folks who are a major part of their lives? In some cases, raised and nurtured them since birth? But I digress w/ my diatribe. Mickey, your song Black Like Me is underrated. And in an industry where (I'm almost certain of it) even the well intentioned & decent hearted White country celebs were psychologically uncom4table hearing it, you held true to YOUR message. *Some of us have experiences BEYOND drinking beer, going mudding in a 'souped up' monster truck, tractors & lecturing about patriotism. Nothing wrong w/ any of the aforementioned. Just showing how millions of so called 'Country' folks actually believe that THEY alone are the standard by which the word 'Patriot' & 'American' are to be measured! Which is 100% B.S. Guess what 'Country' folks...MICKEY GUYTON (and literally millions who look like her) ARE AMERICAN!!! Your discomfort w/ it doesn't change it. In the REAL WORLD country and 'southern' doesn't mean 'White'. But you'd be surprised at the millions of folks who've been programmed since childhood to believe just that...lol. I remember meeting Charley Pride at a Dallas Mavericks game about 6 yrs ago. I asked him how he managed to mentally deal w/ the 'haters' in the country music industry. He knew exactly what I was referring to. I won't betray his privacy. But let's just say that back then in country music a Black Artist had to be willing to NOT touch upon (through song) anything that they may have experienced/endured in order to be accepted. In other words, keep your peers com4table & you'll be fine...smh. 'Country' artists like Morgan Wallen are more plentiful than we'd like to acknowledge (White, arrogant & racist). But the good news is that the decent White folks who actually ARE secure in themselves (non racist) outnumber the one's who are not...lol. I just hope that this is the case in country music. Just my views...it is what it is. All hail the decent humans in the country music industry (like Dolly Parton) who don't care about a person's skin color.

tiktok helped me find this and i’m not mad 🥰

The Grammys have me here. It's a shame I hadn't heard this song b4 her Grammy performance 😩 This is a legendary song and in celebration of Lady Day (Billie Holiday) this song is definitely in the league of strange fruit! MASTERPIECE!!! SALUTE QUEEN Mickey Guyton 💪🏼✊🏼💞💕🔥🔥🔥🔥

Love Love

I love her. When I first heard her I was blown away by her voice n she is gorgeous and such an angel. I love all her songs and this one I can say describes how things are today.

Glad found this song. I first listened it on CBC radio Q in Toronto while I was driving. Touched by the lyrics, very powerful! Thanks for having it released.

This song is beautiful. You are amazing Mickey. You inspires me with this song. I can't stop listening to it

Just beautiful 😻 that voice is captivating and smooth as it could be.

Beautiful, bold, brave. Way to shake things up lady. I’m not even a country music fan, yet your music just pulls ya in.

Awesome singer 👸 Simple and very effective lyrics, reflective of country truths and yet a new (to mainstream country) perspective 💜🖤

So proud of her!!! Love the song!!
