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
