[Verse 1]

I’m the legacy of ancestors, passed

The walking embodiment of good and goddamn black

I have no bidness having fear

I’m on a righteous path

Grandma and granny on my altar saying

“You did thaaat”

Look

We on them frontlines

We bout it

Don’t have to front lies

Reparations

Get on it

And for the entire bloodline

Blood in the soil

So miss me with all’em guidelines

If yo country gotta burn for us to matter

Light it up right


[Pre Chorus]

If we don’t get it

We gon shut this bitch down

Clean up house

Or we gon turn this bitch out

If we don’t get it

We gon have to get loud

Clean up house

Or wе gon tear y’all shit down

I’m going back to the ways of old

King shit feeling like Pharaoh

Pounding pavеment with my Durag on

Fist up in the air

Man y’all better let ‘em know


[Hook]

Black king,black king

Pharaoh (Bumaye)

Black dreams, black dreams

Black gold (Bumaye)

Black king, black king

Pharaoh (Bumaye)

Black dreams, black dreams

Black gold


[Verse 2]

All black

Ogun all through me for combat

Orisha reaching out

Olokun energy, I’m all that

Child of the sun, Ra (Ra)

Netjer, Netjer

Ra (Ra), Ra (Ra)

I’m aligning with my roots

Chile I ain’t going too far

Look

Grab the sage (Sage)

Wave it through the home of the brave (Whoo)

The same flame should be used to light the system ablaze (Tah)

I got arrested pigs laughed in my face (Clink clink)

The irony is that my mama called em

Ain’t it a shame (Damn)

Uh oh, am I too black for you niggas (Whoa)

If it ain’t what you programmed

Then it’s witchcraft to you niggas (Yee Yee)

Talmbout all live matter (Yee)

Sound just like shut up you niggas

Wanna do black shit (Black) so badly (I’m Black)

You just some wanna be niggas (Black Black Black)


[Pre Chorus]

If we don’t get it

We gon shut this bitch down

Clean up house

Or we gon turn this bitch out

If we don’t get it

We gon have to get loud

Clean up house

Or we gon tear y’all shit down


[Chorus]

I’m going back to the ways of old

King shit, feeling like Pharaoh

Pounding pavement with my Durag on

Fist up in the air

Man y’all better let ‘em know


[Hook]

Black king, black king

Pharaoh (Bumaye)

Black dreams, black dreams

Black gold (Bumaye)

Black king, black king

Pharaoh (Bumaye)

Black dreams, black dreams

Black gold


[Verse 3]

You a whole Pharaoh

Divinity in our bone marrow

Where my Queens

Goddesses

Creators

Thick and narrow

You’re the blueprint

I see you

My eye is on the sparrow

Make lemonade out of lemons

And yet they you ghetto

You’re divine sis

Multidimensional Isis

You the wisest

Giver of life in the highest

That ain’t biased

Study ya roots

You are the finest

You the flyest

Was there anything that I missed (Ha)


[Chorus]

I’m going back to the ways of old (Buma-buma-bumaye)

(Ha) King shit, feeling like Pharaoh (Buma-buma-bumaye)

(Ooh) Pounding pavement with my Durag on (Buma-buma-bumaye)

(Ah) Fist up in the air

Man y’all better let ‘em know (Buma, Bu, Bumaye)


[Hook]

Black king, black king

Pharaoh (Bumaye)

Black dream, black dream

Black gold (Bumaye)

Black king, black king

Pharaoh (Bumaye)

Black dream, black dream

Black gold (OW)
