Human being I can put you on
Being black and free and alive can you put me on?
Being a queen of colour girl can you put me on?
Being the best I can be for myself I can put you on (Yea yea)
I could put you on
Human being I can put you on
Being black and free and alive can you put me on?
Being a queen of colour girl can you put me on
Being the best I can be for you I could put you on (Yea yea)
I could you put you on
Thanks to the African foremothers this world was built on their backs
The in-between of their legs is treasure but as men we use it as crack
Can't show face so we hit from the back
The paler the skin the blacker the crack
By that I mean the realest of crack
But being black who wouldn't want that (Who)?
Ain't no space on history's page
Telling tales of heroes who came
Before black people were enslaved
Fictional characters Kunta Kinte (Ay)
What about Mansa Musa who reigned (Ay)
What about ama Winnie who slayed (Ay)
Forgiveness with all of the pain
Democracy but who gettin’ paid?
Just today I heard a white man say that black people all look alike
Then proceeded to say that's not what he thinks
Then left with a smile and a wink
I let that sink and it made me sick
If not for this job you can my dick
Angry and black that stigma stick
2018 and I still feel the whip
But that shouldn't stop me
I won't fold origami
Show love to everybody
Acknowledge the past
Please hurry (Yea!)
Hate eating up everybody
Please don't forget who we really be
African time we ain’t tardy
Cuz you still ain't at the party
But it's a party
Human being I can put you on
Being black and free and alive can you put me on?
Being a queen of colour girl can you put me on?
Being the best I can be for myself I can put you on (Yea yea)
I could put you on
Human being I can put you on
Being black and free and alive can you put me on?
Being a queen of colour girl can you put me on
Being the best I can be for you I can put you on (Yea yea)
I could you put you on
Swimming in pools of contradiction
But I didn't know that I could swim in
Oceans that are filled with ignorance
All of the dark shit I was ignoring
All of the Xenophobia (Bullshit)
All of the inherent racism (Bullshit)
All of the inner hate-tism (Bullshit)
Corruption setting-us-back-ism (Bullshit)
Can the people get what's theirs like the Royal Bafokeng
Don't talk to me 'bout nonsense cuz you messing up my zen
Please teach my people that paying rent ain't ownership
Ain't no woman can be owned so stop calling her a bitch
I hope karma is on to you
Touch her again it's hell for you
Black on black on black on black on black
Why don't we own our truth
Why can't I always buy from you
I bet there are things I could learn from you
But I just keep on judging you
Why can't we love like our mamas do
Keep it together like a duku
Keep connecting like Bluetooth
For us by us FUBU
It's all from here even couscous
Still buying back our own goods
Not doing more for our neighbourhoods
Waking up to that coulda woulda
And fucking ourselves back to the hoods
We ain't building up
Human being I can put you on
Being black and free and alive can you put me on?
Being a queen of colour girl can you put me on?
Being the best I can be for myself I can put you on (Yea yea)
I could put you on
Human being I can put you on
Being black and free and alive can you put me on?
Being a queen of colour girl can you put me on
Being the best I can be for you I can put you on (Yea yea)
I could you put you on
