Lyrics
Turn my headphones up
We got
Dead bodies laying on the concrete
Long rifle shot 'em from the backseat
Turn on the news see the mom weep
Try to speak to God to find her own peace
knowing that the world can seem shameless
Wonder if the killer see they faces
Pray for the souls that be lost
I wanna find a way to try and help but what's the cost?
What's the cost for a black man life when he die from another black man in plain sight?
Looking at the gangs and systems it ain't right
But that's just a war I won't win and can't fight
Black kid got shot on the street 'cause he ain't white
God please, find us a way to shed light
On the problems we be facing in society
Dark thoughts always giving me anxiety
I know you been searching
For some purpose
You've been working
You been stacking lately
You know it's your time now
Shine your light now
If you're black and feeling proud
Black fists in the air for the one time
All different tribes but it's under one sign
All hearts and souls but it's under one mind
Can't disconnect when we all from the same line, like
Woah! Hold on!
I'm finna take it back
'Cause some of y'all be acting like y'all don't know how to act
Back in desert land when they building the pyramids
Creating culture, spread love and show 'em the way to live (Talk to 'em now)
Building diffrent kingdoms, man look at all we done did
Look what we tryna' do
I'm on ancestral plane and they smiling too
Here my God say, "Well done, I'm so proud of you"
Good looking energy, you got power too, building towers too
I'm black and got the rizziz
If you don't know ya history then you don't know what real is
Gotta side eye the police like what the deal is?
Know I'm wide eyed in nose bleeds the way the field is
Hoping y'all can feel this
'Cause I know I can feel this
Nagging sensation
Our past has been taking
Our pride has been stabbed
Our core they have shaking
The stones have been casted
400 years later and it's all bad
Crazy my face was when faced with a fact
That everyone's black
Get rich in history
Build on yo' past
It's facts
Let's make it all good
Another day a black baby drowing in the hood
Hope they make it to the surface
And swim to find a purpose
The dangers and urges can make it feel worthless
But keep on looking high, we be staring at the stars
'Cause everybody know, stars shine in the dark
Our love is like a chain that'll never break apart
And I love all my brothers from the bottom of my heart on God!
I know you been searching
For some purpose
You've been working
You been stacking lately
You know it's your time now
Shine your light now
If you're black and feeling proud
