Politricks
Yeah I'm a human being
All they see is my skin first
I tell them I'm oppressed
They tellin me that it's been worse
The only cotton that I'm pickin' is my collar
But the language of my neighborhood is considered improper
They never want me to fade to black
They hate the fact I'm militant
What wave is that?
I'm just a black queen with my fist up
Got that uppercut for haters
You might wanna keep your chin tucked
They swear to me they don't see color
They're my brother til them lights flash
They runnin for cover
I never wonder why they shoot us down
I just get back up
I'm black and I'm proud
But they'll never keep my heart from crossing borders
Fuck a wall, I'm declaring a new love order
Love's the silver bullet, I swear it will be lethal
I will never believe a human being is illegal
He says he's the best president, none are his equal
But we don't believe you, you need more people
It will be a dark night as long as we sleep
As long as we wait, as long as we seek
We are the ones that we're waiting for
We are the change, we can't wait no more
We are the ones that we're waiting for
We are the change, we can't wait no more
All they see is my skin first
I tell them I'm oppressed
They tellin me that it's been worse
The only cotton that I'm pickin' is my collar
But the language of my neighborhood is considered improper
They never want me to fade to black
They hate the fact I'm militant
What wave is that?
I'm just a black queen with my fist up
Got that uppercut for haters
You might wanna keep your chin tucked
They swear to me they don't see color
They're my brother til them lights flash
They runnin for cover
I never wonder why they shoot us down
I just get back up
I'm black and I'm proud
But they'll never keep my heart from crossing borders
Fuck a wall, I'm declaring a new love order
Love's the silver bullet, I swear it will be lethal
I will never believe a human being is illegal
He says he's the best president, none are his equal
But we don't believe you, you need more people
It will be a dark night as long as we sleep
As long as we wait, as long as we seek
We are the ones that we're waiting for
We are the change, we can't wait no more
We are the ones that we're waiting for
We are the change, we can't wait no more
