Blackkk Luxury (feat. Dero Quenson)

Losses turn to lessons over many years When you got this kinda power it ain't much to fear Made mistakes that led me to my darkest nights But made amends and corrected with a golden light Chased a dollar and a dream with hopes of a land That spreads love and judge off the soul of a man Not off his pockets or the skin on the back of his hands Life as a villain was as simple as listing demands Swimming in wealth feel myself becoming a scrooge I'm well aware of the system that want me to lose Success plagued, my hard work delayed They see me for my sins And not the lives I saved If I'm successful they'll think that I sold my soul If I reach my potential they'll think that I played a role And ignore all of the sacrifices made The blackkk luxury of life Is I price I'll never pay If money could buy you happiness You'd spend it right Or would you move through the hood Like a thief at night They say money don't change a man It just magnify But I guess you'll never know if you never try This just a taste of black luxury Black businesses free of black puppetry This just a taste of black luxury You see the name This is nothing introductory Blackkk luxury Caused by blackkk chains Blackkk history Blackkk death And Blackkk pain Will black lives ever know peace When blackkk change Cause all that we see these days Is black slain Everything was started when we hopped up off that Amistad All the closed minds ain't getting fed They will not survive I'm trynna build up with my people, you know multiply Done being food, can't play the rules They want genocide Just another Who want gold on his face Just another Who want land and a wraith Just another Who want ice for the pain This for my kings and my queens, we gon reign I study the greatest while I'm rapping on these sheets This for my unborn babies, you gotta watch for the police Don't be a hostage held down, free my dogs off the leash We gon pop up out that bubble, we gon float on everything I think it's funny bout this white man money Have a black man wilding That man don't look like me, no Ain't nobody smiling, it's more than race to me What happen to them Harriet Tubman's You gotta be buggin If money could buy you happiness You'd spend it right Or would you move through the hood Like a thief at night They say money don't change a man It just magnify But I guess you'll never know if you never try This just a taste of black luxury Black businesses free of black puppetry This just a taste of black luxury You see the name This is nothing introductory Blackkk luxury Caused by blackkk chains Blackkk history Blackkk death And Blackkk pain Will black lives ever know peace When blackkk change Cause all that we see these days Is black slain If money could buy you happiness You'd spend it right Or would you move through the hood Like a thief at night They say money don't change a man It just magnify But I guess you'll never know if you never try This just a taste of black luxury Black businesses free of black puppetry This just a taste of black luxury You see the name This is nothing introductory
