歌詞
I wrote this on the eve of Trump’s inauguration
And felt that we needed to have a conversation
About why your daddy feels this is an abomination
When it was an Obama nation, I felt a calm sensation
Knowing that I could look you squarely in the eye
Tell you that you’re a queen holding you nearly as you cry
Consoling you cuz comments on your culture that insults ya
Should never kill your spirit, no merit for ruthless vultures
Especially our leaders perpetrating all this needless
Anxiety and hate in supporters who follow Jesus
You see this world is full of creatures who look at your skin
And judge you without a care of whatever’s held within
But when Obama was in, there was more of a global feeling
A soul was speaking to how peace over war was more appealing
But with Trump they’re revealing a return to an elitist
Point of view that ceases to view all human beings as decent
Before being given a reason to see them as otherwise
They’ve always told your sisters and your brothers lies
Like your darker complexion and your curly locks
Has it so there’s no staircase that you could surely top
They’ll never let up on having us held back
So baby, just go forth and know it’s a set fact
If only one thing remains like a cadaver
You are loved, and you can be anything you imagine
Be up and down and lost
But never take it easy
Been down this road before
We often find a reason
We are who we want to be
We are, we were born to be
A young king but really there's no crown
Feeling so lost like really there's no found
Gold I was sold by leaders is how it sound
I could get my own but really you taking ours
And breaking vows vacant lots kids playing in then came the cops
Wishing they could put ‘em all away to rot
Handcuffed to a rail losing time in a lonely cell
Single father never talks to his son only yells
Mother America treat me like an estranged child
Then tell the whole world he been doing well
Look at this hell conditions are ill
Lie to my face but u tell me it's real
Man votes never count in the places we dwell
A little insight n you could see for yourself
When you talk about a thug only image expelled is innercity-esque
Never a suit a n tie sitting at desk
Vary the nooses how can u catch a breath
I carry a deuce a 5 just to get some rest
Still can't find peace
I guess that my only hope, spread love on beats
Black boy being born with a lot pressure
8 pounds, 12 inches long you were measured
Growing up in the hood couldn’t have it better
Raised by your mom and dad, we were both together
I’m amazed everyday that you age
I’m afraid of you going from a playpen to a cage
Nowadays it's fatal and the way that you behave
Go from cribs to a cell or a cradle to grave
Laws intended and invented
To add years to men in the pen sentence for skin tinted
There's prejudice and evidence and incentive
Is to suffer because color of your skin printed
On your back there's a bulls-eye
Just in case you have a day in court, have a suit with a good tie
Half your mom, half me, you belong to me
Be who you was born to be, a star
