I'm black baby I'm black baby, where the love I’m black I know you heard me say this on from 2020 with love I had to go back and refit the verse again like a glove I went and missed on the sound, I couldn't catch me a break So i don’t think y’all heard me or the the point that i had to make So I figured I’d take This as a chance to restate The fact the police playin' way too big a role in my fate The fact they scaring us to death but claiming that we irate The fact they see my melanin as just a criminal trait The fact they think I shouldn’t be in neighborhoods with a gate The fact that while I’m tryna eat the cops are runnin' my plate The fact it seems like my people finna starve at this rate The fact my people ain’t ate And that we still gotta to wait 400 years to for them to see it but they claim that we late!? I'm black baby I'm black baby, where the love I’m black Police the ones with shields We the ones that need protection We in prison deep as hell They the ones that need correction I'm tired of hearing stories How it's only a selection That selection's way too big And it ain't enough arresting Of the bad ones in the bunch Cause a riot when protesting Puts a problem in their face But they refuse to take the lesson If the justice system's just Then why it's just us always stressing The system ain't for us And was broke from it's inception When we try to move on up The system Changes that direction I wanna be a proud American, my people fought too The Difference is we ain't protected by the red, white, and blue Crispus Attucks, Henry Flipper should be heroes to you But since they black they get left out of all the books at the school And since I'm black they hold me back and hide my history from me To find the truth I almost had to earn a history degree I couldn't see it on TV We only slaves on the screen Or else we makin' music videos or play for a team History and images I see make me wanna scream Learning white history From a white man In a white class At a white school Well it's no mystery I'm a black man And I'm not crass And I'm no fool And I'm no fool I can see police brutality And lies in my history The sensory inundation And misery of a nation That loves the misinformation It's fed over any station The beggary has just increased The misery ain't missing me It all is in the energy seen everyday from bad police I'm black baby I'm black baby, where the love I’m black We might pull up at the White House just to turn the light on I'll rewrite the Constitution, I just need something to write on It's 2020 and hate is spreading like it's a disease It's 2020 and they still hanging my people from trees Man Cops treat anybody brown different Acting like our body gone accept a round different Acting like our body finna hit the ground different Cause they don't like the way we look em up and down different I'm Scared of cops, you scared of kids, you see how that sounds different All it takes is them blue lights, and my heart bound to pound different Takes a village for a child, but you can tell our towns different You mourn cops, I mourn the victim, you can tell our frowns different You on Checkers. I'm on Chess. you can tell our crowns different I'm black baby I'm black baby, where the love I'm black How You expect me not to ask why Every 4th of July When you want me to celebrate and let these fireworks fly Less than a month ago you skipped something important to I I'm talking about Juneteenth And I could speak at length Or at length With some strength Or some strength In my voice But even just with a tenth Of the power In my people I'm the king Without my people that don't mean a thing I feel like Michael Jordan when he won his 3rd ring Might take a break from never missing, grab a glove and swing or sing Get it? Put on a glove like Mike Then return to the game cause something ain't feel right Practice til the break of dawn and feel the thrill all night Cause Things are Bad but we can Beat it One More Chance a'ight I'm black baby I'm black baby, where the love I'm black E.S.I.M. Just like that
