Black on Black

Yeah
Yeah

Black on black mind
Black on black roots
Black on black race
Went black on black to school
Black on black lady
Melanin smooth
Black on black culture
Black on black youth
Black on black single mother
Love of your black baby
Black on black bad
They used to laugh
Said my skin shady
Black on black church
Singing halle lu
Ya'll should try to walk a mile
In my black on black shoes
We out here tryna live the dream
Momma told me that it's hard as a immigrant
Thought we made it of the boat
But a nigga still a nigga, still irrelevant
In the land where i am from
We never dare to think about a black president
Beating odds since 91, pop my color everyday
Call it permanent

Just know you matter
Your scars are tough like leather baby
I know it hurts
This fight won't be for ever baby
Just know you matter
Baby yea you matter
Use your mind, thats how you fight back
Your fist up to sky, screaming black to black
Screaming black to black

And shit don't change
Plus the system still to blind
Whats the worth or the matter
For a black man at these times?
You stab a brother cause a brother don't worth shit
Spent your stacks for these hoes and brand new outfits
Pull up in your benz, let these niggas know you bout this
Black on black lie, put your pretending where doubts is
Black on black Jesus, wanna get to where clouds is
Tryna fill my momma fridge, my actions where my mouth is
Martin woulda proud if history wouldn't repeat it self
Shot my brothers being pawns up in these cells
Just read my eyes homie
They doing numbers with these brothers
Counting digits, undercover
Raising lies only
New's ain't supply homie
Only traps up in these systems
We ignore and never listen
Think its time homie

Black on black
My fist be raised
My voice be raised
I am proud
Black on black
I matter
May your speakers bump it loud
Black on black
My fist be raised
My voice be raised
I am proud
Black on black
I matter
May your speakers bump it loud

Just know you matter baby yeah you matter
Just know you matter baby yeah you matter
Just know you matter baby
Just know you matter baby

Just know you matter
Your scars are tough like leather baby
I know it hurts this, fight won't be for ever baby
Just know you matter
Baby yea you matter
Use your mind, thats how you fight back
Your fist up to sky, screaming black to black
Screaming black to black
