Black on Black

Yeah

Yeah

Black on black mind, black on black roots

Black on black race, black on black to school

Black on black lady, melanin smooth

Black on black culture, black on black youth

Black on black single mother

Love of your black baby

Black on black bad, they used to laugh, said my skin shady

Black on black church, singing hallelu'

Ya'll try to walk a mile in my black on black shoes

We out here tryna live the dream, mama told me that it's hard for an immigrant

Thought we made it off the boat, but a **** still a ****, still irrelevant

In the land, where I'm from, we never think about a black president

Beating odds since '91, pop my collar everyday, call it permanent

Just know you matter

Your scars are tough like leather, baby

I know it hurts

This fight won't be forever, baby

Just know you matter, baby, yeah you matter

Use your mind, that's how you fight back

Your fists up to the sky, screaming black to black

And shit don't change

Plus the system still to blind

What's the worry or the matter, for a black man at these times?

You stab a brother 'cause a brother don't worth shit

Spend your stacks for these hoes and brand new outfits

Pull in your benz, let these **** know you 'bout this

Black on black lie, put your pretending where doubts is

Black on black Jesus, wanna get to where the clouds is

Tryna fill my mama fridge, my actions where my mouth is

Martin would be proud if history wouldn't repeat itself

What's with these brothers being pawns up in these cells

Just read my eyes, homie

They doing numbers with these brothers, counting digits, undercover, raising lies only

News ain't supply, homie

Only traps up in these systems, we ignore and listen, think it's time, homie

Black on black, my fist be raised, my voice be raised, I am proud

Black on black, I matter, may your speakers pump it loud

Black on black, my fist be raised, my voice be raised, I am proud

Black on black, I matter, my your speakers pump it loud

Just know you matter, baby, yeah you matter

Just know you matter, baby, yeah you matter

Just know you matter, baby

Just know you matter, baby

Wow, wow, wow

Just know you matter

Your scars are tough like leather, baby

I know it hurts, this fight won't be forever, baby

Just know you matter, baby, yeah you matter

Use your mind, that's how you fight back

Your fists up to the sky, screaming black to black

Screaming black to black
