My ancestors were Kings Before they were slaves A beautiful truth covered by too many stains For the land of the free the home of the brave Where they lie in history books to keep us enslaved I empower my people We made from the clay Our bloodline royal We breakin them chains Of a system designed To keep us at bay Our cup runneth over Because we guided by Faith They gentrifying the hood to take it away But we stronger together So we still makin a way Was taught my features were ugly I've learned to embrace My nappy hair big lips And wide nose on my face My Black is Beautiful My Black is Powerful My Black is Great My Black is Excellent Black awakening Let me say Not your monkey or your boy N word or your ape By the way we made America great Sweat and tears of the slaves in the field used to hydrate Then they turned against each other Willie Lynch mind-state Now we must enrich each other til we reach thy gates of Heaven Each one teach the next thy way And pray every day We protectin our women Respect em' the same Teaching our children so less repeatin mistakes The devil is real I'm seein his face When I turn on the T.V. he's all on the waves I used to prove I was realer jumped all in your face But now my reala end in estate Good Lord willing my kids will be $traight I'm trying to leave a legacy that leaves some food on the plates For generations to come Accumulation of funds Redistribution of wealth Manifestation of what I'm speakin into existence Just like my God up above And I praise YAHWEH With my heart and my tongue Yo we've came a long way Look at all we've become Keep pushin we can achieve what's never been done Fail 99 times then we tryin a hun Fail a hunid then we tryin 101 and it's soundin like This is for our daughters This is for our sons This is for the kid without a father or a mom This is for the one that's questioning How they gon' love themselves when on the news The only thing they say is that we're thugs This for everybody who refusin giving up 2020 dealt some blows still we kept on gettin up Dust ya self off live it up I know they killin us Our taxes pay these crooked cops So how they billing us for our murders Honestly I know it seem unheard of But they can't hurt us cuz black people We resilient like Nat Turner Broke blinker never should result in a black burner Pointed at my face when really it's cause my race And it's sickenin plot just keep on thickenin We just keep on growing Borrowers now doing the loaning Renters now become the ones doing the owning Mr. President where them reparations y'all still owe us ha? Where they at tho?
