Have you ever thought, what if this is all just a dream

Head above water we can never drown

Yo, ghetto reformed
I represent them niggas that could weather the storm
I represent the type of fights we're together
We strong from night till morn. No heating, cause them lights ain't on

We was on the boulevard making dime plays
Hitting up Brian store for the tuna and them chicken plates
I'm just being real, we ain't good off them fish cakes

No missing a sale, you got eyes, we stretching this bake
I say them plucks gon' wait
It was a Thursday, my big brother Ras lit up a chalice, made the earth shake
My thoughts got deep, so I brought about the early days

Of how they gentrified Gent, and now its Park Place
A hell of a day, it's like we living in a dark space
This clouded with rage, but never giving up on our faith
The greatest exchange is the love we pour from our veins
While turning the pain we receive into a hard gain

Hey black men, even with the chains they can't hold us down
We found strength in the numbers aint no stopping now
Head above water we can never drown, keep ya head to the sky

When the grind and the hustle didn't play fair
We made it thru the struggle could've stayed there
We fought too hard just to be here

Meditate a couple guided breaths, in and out
Pray to lord that he guides my steps
Left and right, up and down, it ain't far from death
Rest in peace to the ones that overslept
I'm woke

My black life matters, home and it's scattered
Blast of the dreams we shatter shoots and ladders
To a wonderland, I wonder man, always feel under than
Shots fill the city, so we gotta play Aquaman

Tryna raise a Aqualad in this fatherless town
So it looks a little awkward man
Just what I'm living for

Supposed to be like Jesus, be a leader, so a seed of some
Im reading for the non-seers
Peter Green, Don Cheadle
Talk to me lord, for you know what's in store

Ain't no honor in this court
Ain't no justice in this law
Just hate wrapped in pork, served on plastic forks
Make an honest living, then they come to extort

Hey black men, even with the chains they can't hold us down
We found strength in the numbers aint no stopping now
Head above water we can never drown, keep ya head to the sky

When the grind and the hustle didn't play fair
We made it thru the struggle could've stayed there
We fought too hard just to be here

Yo, black excellence, black excellence
Strive for the black leverage, die for the black negligence
It's never separate,
We hustle from gutters to keep our family fit
Limited, but we manage it
Empty canvases, they paint us a perfect picture, no damages
Extra white for the camera lens, some outlandish shit

We keep rebutting, cause we ain't falling for camera tricks
Generational wealth is what we chasing
Passports and vacations, to beat the system
We made it, I never thought I would say this

We built different, not basic
Properly educated, we learning from all the hatred that's mentally integrated
It's like, we living life on a quest to find our way in
God gave us a vision that's different, called a delayed win

Stick to the script, no improv, we involving
Every melanated heartbeat that's throbbing

Hey black man
Hey black man

Hey black man
Hey black man
