[Verse]

I’m riding with the Black youth

I’m all about that Black truth

I would have been a Black panther

Riding in a black coupe

You can catch me in a Black group

Trying to set a Black standard

Young Black militant

All about that black power

Remember black wall street

Run it with my black feet

See it in my black face

Love it when us blacks meet

Black conversations

Black congregation

Black equals beautiful

What color you think space is

All black space ship

I Even fuck with racists

I take them to the black hood

Show em black greatness

All Black nation

Wakanda forever yo

Black super hero

With a all black stereo

Black gold

Black soul

Stronger than a black hole

Black future black slave

Imagine thats what blacks told

Blacks in the White House

Everybody black when the lights out

Keep your eyes on my back

Cause I might sprout…


[Hook]

Black feathers on a black wing

Black letters black fiends

Black visions black dreams

Black Black as Coretta Scottt King

Black as Goergetta

Black voices

I love a black woman

Cause they way gorgeous

Got the boulders on they shoulders

They must seem enormous

It's hard to be a dreamer

When they scheming for us

It's hard to see the trees

When beneath the forest

Evil forces

Want to deceive us

To non believers


[Verse]

Black for lack of a better word

Lack of a better treatment

Lack of a better relationship

And a better reason

Better breath in

Better seasons

I bet its easy

To justify

Why some niggas just got to die

16 shots rang out

I heard a mother scream

An unarmed man falls to the ground

Another murder scene

5 cops rush in

Just another cover up

They never realized

He was working under cover for

The feds

Now he’s dead

And they got to get their story straight

Make it look like a struggle

Get yourself out of trouble

He tried to run away

Tried to take you gun

He's lying on the ground

So many people around

Thats someone son

Now they form a crowd

Pause

They wonder why we always at odds

With figures

Authorities impressing themselves upon

Us niggas

We only get considered as niggas that’s named Laquon

Why we always got to be the bigger one

You got the gun
