Verse 2
(DJ Ricoveli)
I go harder in my Starter drip
My HBCU starter kit
Legacy & History
Wish you could be apart of it
1867 though I had a dream
Like Martin did
Boycotts and sit ins
Got treated like an improper fit
Now we back on top of it from Howard
To the White House
Always waited on that time
I guess that it was right now
Standing tall shining through the dark
Like a light house
Said you got start what you finish
No I can't pipe down
Higher graduation rates
We all got to get degrees
Equal opportunities
My people got to get the green
Rightfully no in-between
Because you see we came to far
Know we raise the bar of excellence
Now go look for the star
BRIDGE:
(Markeena Novembre)
Done messed around and sparked a revolution
Came before them guess we wrote the constitution
Got to have it
This fashion's way to rare
Rock my starter jacket while the people stand and stare
I'm the empress
I'm the queen
I'm the greatest way to clean
The black knowledge is pristine
And my actions make it seen
I'm in first and never second
Presence is the present
Beauties in the eye of the beholder
Mine is pleasant
STARTER
CHORUS:

Verse 3:
(C3D)
Been black and educated
Pre diversity inclusion
This what happens when you hold R2
Turbo get to boosting
Never losing chose our institutions
Knew that we would win
Smartest prettiest of women
Most intelligent of men
Let me begin to tell the story
Of Wakanda's truest from
We laughing at their barriers
Stepping on their norms
As we walk across the yard
Cheer across the stage
Grab the pen control the narrative
Then we flip the page
To write the letter, lick the seal, stamp it
Then we send it off
Write the check, paid the price, cash it
We hire the boss
Can we talk for like a minute?
Not the same convo as Tevin
Handwritten message send it off to all hundred and seven
