[Intro]

Ah, ah

Oh, oh

[Verse 1]

Speak of the devil and he shall appear

Maybe that why all the rappers talk about now

Is money, cars and gear

If I’m wrong, so be it

But that’s all I hear

Unapologetically black

Unapologetically, me

More to the life than what you see

If it’s more, what can it be?

Judging by what don’t matter

How we talkin’ bout clothes and cars

While our blood splatter?

Take our life as collateral

In front, but we still looking back

For the lateral

Real pain, fake world

Let’s take the antidote

I ain’t talking Adderall

I’m already focused

So much on my mind

Tryna find a way to share my notion

And this music is the potion

All love and happiness

Forget the shooting and commotion

Wasting energy on beef and pettiness

Don’t focus on the negative

No matter how hard it get

Live life, to the fullest

Can’t look back in 60 years

And your whole life filled with regret

[Chorus]

Unapologetic

I’m in love with my culture

Won’t let you disrespect it

Almost forgot your crown queen

Don’t neglect it

Our history is who we are

So we must protect it

Black and proud

Loudly I confess it

Unapologetic

I’m in love with my culture

Won’t let you disrespect it

Almost forgot your crown queen

Don’t neglect it

Our history is who we are

So we must protect it

Black and proud

Loudly I confess it

[Verse 2]

Confessions of a black man

Student in more ways than one

And no I’ve never been arrested

Never took the stand

Knock on wood

Cuz what’s understood is never

Fully explained

Rookie cops out here

Never fully been trained

Treat us like wild animals

Never fully been tamed

What will your legacy mean

When they remember your name?

Will it always be the same?

“Oh, yea he was this and that

A drug dealing boul

No aspirations type of cat”

But forget that

I want more

You come from royalty

Kings and queens, even Moors

Greatness what I’m looking for

No need looking down there on the dirty floor

Look up to the sky

You alive

That’s a blessing boul

Not too many folks get to live too close to 24

Let alone a few years more

You only get one life to live

In this soap opera

Make it count my brother

Go forth and prosper

[Chorus]

Unapologetic

I’m in love with my culture

Won’t let you disrespect it

Almost forgot your crown queen

Don’t neglect it

Our history is who we are

So we must protect it

Black and proud

Loudly I confess it

Unapologetic

I’m in love with my culture

Won’t let you disrespect it

Almost forgot your crown queen

Don’t neglect it

Our history is who we are

So we must protect it

Black and proud

Yeah
