Being Black (feat. DeeVine & Ke'asha)
We've got to face the fact that some people say you fight fire best with fire
But we say you put fire out best with water
We say you don't fight racism with racism
We're gonna fight racism with solidarity"
Beat down, kicked, spit on, and pissed
Held back and shit I aint havin it
Hands up, I cant breathe
Smothered by reality
We gotta face the fact Life a lil harder being black
Donald Trump saying make America great Y'all were never the first in the first place
Want us to drop shit Act like we forgot shit Keep us entertained With some dry shit
I aint with the riots But we all tired No matter who we vote for We aint got shit
And they wonder why we savage Caught up with this madness Judged by the ones
Who aint have this Growin up poor Schools are outta control
No order in the home is how they want it
Now it is what it is All these fatherless kids Best men held back call em convicts
Cant get a good job Cant make enough bread to pay the bills making minimum wage
And child support make em not wanna work anyway When is this bullshit gone change?
Beat down, kicked, spit on, and pissed
Held back and shit I aint havin it
Hands up, I cant breathe
Smothered by reality
We gotta face the fact Life a lil harder being black
You see we blacker than coal
Black and we gold, gold in my soul, shit I know you know
Don't want to face the facts
Hands behind yo back we under attack
Nigga I told you that
Hit em' where it hurts
Get off my shirt, uhhhhh my chest
Hands up on the car, hit in the chest, laid him to rest
Got another mark boy ain't you sharp
You passed the test
They just Try to act like they hate you but wanna be you and shit
I could prolly give you this trauma you couldn't handle it
Beat down, kicked, spit on, and pissed
Held back and shit I aint havin it
Hands up, I cant breathe
Smothered by reality
We gotta face the fact Life a lil harder being black
We cant face defeat with unity Division keep us off of our feet
People that look like you and me We are special beyond what the eye can see
Eveything about us they all copy Everything about us unique
We need to embrace who are and know the real enemies
Listen to me while i speak
See everybody want to be us, but don't speak on injustice
Stealing from the culture while beating down on our brothers
I'm tired of turning on the news cuz all I see is pain
They're laughing while we kill ourselves all that shit gotta change
Royalty, heads up, y'all know we fed up, stand tall, fists up, speak out, hold up
Royalty, heads up, y'all know we fed up, stand tall, fists up
Let 'em know we've had enough
Beat down, kicked, spit on, and pissed
Held back and shit I aint havin it
Hands up, I cant breathe
Smothered by reality
We gotta face the fact Life a lil harder being black
But we say you put fire out best with water
We say you don't fight racism with racism
We're gonna fight racism with solidarity"
Beat down, kicked, spit on, and pissed
