Have you ever thought, what if this is all just a dream Head above water we can never drown Yo, ghetto reformed I represent them niggas that could weather the storm I represent the type of fights we're together We strong from night till morn. No heating, cause them lights ain't on We was on the boulevard making dime plays Hitting up Brian store for the tuna and them chicken plates I'm just being real, we ain't good off them fish cakes No missing a sale, you got eyes, we stretching this bake I say them plucks gon' wait It was a Thursday, my big brother Ras lit up a chalice, made the earth shake My thoughts got deep, so I brought about the early days Of how they gentrified Gent, and now its Park Place A hell of a day, it's like we living in a dark space This clouded with rage, but never giving up on our faith The greatest exchange is the love we pour from our veins While turning the pain we receive into a hard gain Hey black men, even with the chains they can't hold us down We found strength in the numbers aint no stopping now Head above water we can never drown, keep ya head to the sky When the grind and the hustle didn't play fair We made it thru the struggle could've stayed there We fought too hard just to be here Meditate a couple guided breaths, in and out Pray to lord that he guides my steps Left and right, up and down, it ain't far from death Rest in peace to the ones that overslept I'm woke My black life matters, home and it's scattered Blast of the dreams we shatter shoots and ladders To a wonderland, I wonder man, always feel under than Shots fill the city, so we gotta play Aquaman Tryna raise a Aqualad in this fatherless town So it looks a little awkward man Just what I'm living for Supposed to be like Jesus, be a leader, so a seed of some Im reading for the non-seers Peter Green, Don Cheadle Talk to me lord, for you know what's in store Ain't no honor in this court Ain't no justice in this law Just hate wrapped in pork, served on plastic forks Make an honest living, then they come to extort Hey black men, even with the chains they can't hold us down We found strength in the numbers aint no stopping now Head above water we can never drown, keep ya head to the sky When the grind and the hustle didn't play fair We made it thru the struggle could've stayed there We fought too hard just to be here Yo, black excellence, black excellence Strive for the black leverage, die for the black negligence It's never separate, We hustle from gutters to keep our family fit Limited, but we manage it Empty canvases, they paint us a perfect picture, no damages Extra white for the camera lens, some outlandish shit We keep rebutting, cause we ain't falling for camera tricks Generational wealth is what we chasing Passports and vacations, to beat the system We made it, I never thought I would say this We built different, not basic Properly educated, we learning from all the hatred that's mentally integrated It's like, we living life on a quest to find our way in God gave us a vision that's different, called a delayed win Stick to the script, no improv, we involving Every melanated heartbeat that's throbbing Hey black man Hey black man Hey black man Hey black man
