Just expand your SystemBrushes.HighlightText to a New SolidBrush(Color.Black)

Public Sub DrawStringRectangleF(ByVal e As PaintEventArgs)    
    ' Create string to draw.'
    Dim drawString As [String] = "Sample Text"

    ' Create font and brush.'
    Dim drawFont As New Font("Arial", 16)
    Dim drawBrush As New SolidBrush(Color.Black)

    ' Create rectangle for drawing.'
    Dim x As Single = 150.0F
    Dim y As Single = 150.0F
    Dim width As Single = 200.0F
    Dim height As Single = 50.0F
    Dim drawRect As New RectangleF(x, y, width, height)

    ' Draw rectangle to screen.'
    Dim blackPen As New Pen(Color.Black)
    e.Graphics.DrawRectangle(blackPen, x, y, width, height)

    ' Draw string to screen.'
    e.Graphics.DrawString(drawString, drawFont, drawBrush, drawRect)
End Sub
