Lyrics

I'm a black man
With a black voice
Gotta a black mom
Raised as a black boy
In a dark world
Staring into dark voids
Stole my swag,
But they couldn't steal my black joy
I need a backyard
And a black card
For all the pain, want a plane
And a fast car
I was a young child
I had to act hard
Thanks to Jim crow
Red line, crack rock
Victory is sweeter cause the way that we was treated
Had to get it out the mud, then we pushed it to the ceiling
Hate ran so deep, they ain't even need to speak it
Now they acting like they love us, still hard to believe it
Wonder if they see me
Not just my skin but the real me.
If I showed you my scars would you heal me?
But I can't wait for you
Gotta set my set myself loose (cause)
Future so bright, I
My skin so black, yeah
Try dim my light no
nah nah can't do that, yeah
Say you love me then you gotta show the money, huh?
Say you love me then you gotta show the money, huh?
Say you love me then you gotta show the money
Gimmie equity especially you REALLY wanna run up
I'm a black dad
To a black girl
Give her keys to succeed
In this black world
Give her a black gun
And a black belt
Never let her feel the pain
That her dad felt
Give her game
The wisdom to be a boss
If you fall flat bounce back from a loss
Learn from the past, see the paths and the cost
Meditate, pray hold fast to the cross
Break the curses that were
Perpetrated on us
They say vengeance is the Lord's
But redemption is upon us
Lot of other people acting,
Like we all were just complaining
Seen it happen on the camera
Kinda harder in to explain it huh?...
Wonder if they see me
Not just my skin but the real me
If I showed you my scars would you heal me?
But I can't wait for you
Gotta set my set myself loose (cause)
Future so bright, aye a
My skin so black
Ah ah try dim my light no no
Nah can't do that
Say you love me then you gotta show the money, huh?
Say you love me then you gotta show the money
Say you love me then you gotta show the money
Gimmie equity especially you REALLY wanna run up
Future so bright, I
My skin so black, yeah
Try dim my light no no
nah can't do that
Say you love me then you gotta show the money, huh?
Say you love me then you gotta show the money
Say you love me then you gotta show the money
Gimmie equity especially you REALLY trynna run up
