I am confused. The title of your post is "black color", but that doesn't have anything to do with your question: What's the meaning of "I'll rock you"? Why not title your post, say, "rock you"?

To rock has a negative and positive meaning. A fist is like a rock in shape, so if you say, "I'll rock you", it could mean you're planning on punching that person. In that context 'rock' refers to a physical change in state. To rock also means, to a mental state in state, e.g., "I'll rock your world", which could mean the news will a) make you happy or b) upset you.
