Black Community (feat. Etha)

Last night you seen a cold killin
In front of yo steps, in front of yo buildin
Them ya sons ya daughters
That's yo children
The future look bleak, it ain't got no vision
Now I'm sittin here, brew cold, sippin
Thinkin bout better days sorta like reminiscin
When we was fulla black love
Black pride and power
Time is of the essence, we gon get back ours
Now let's get that ingrained on yo membrane
Before they blow them horns like Coltrane
Four hundred years, millions of tears
Oppression after oppression
Now pipes is bustin from pressure
Our ancestors was regal and royal
Now we kill each other daily
But we chosen, we special
That crown ain't gon fit who it ain't made for
Gotta rise above the game system
Don't get played bruh
Cuz who you kno wit this much flavor
The salt of the earth
Now that's something to savor
Neighbor, lend me yo ear
And listen up close
Got somethin that you should hear

When we unite unite unite
We gon be alright alright alright
When we unite unite unite
We gon be alright alright alright
Until it's UNITY
We gon be divided you and I see why
And if you feel me throw ya hands in the sky
And wave em from side to side like
Ay, ay, ay, ay

You know it's bad
When Milla sound like an advocate
Cause on 4nem we all know I been a catalyst
Fightin over blocks and corners
That we'll never own man
Look at the man in the mirror
This is what I condone fam
It's established in a system
Not trying to play the victim
I'm just playin my position
Shit like Vannesa and Breonna
Get swept up under the rug
Yet and still we the ones
That they callin the thugs
Wonder why Im so stoic
Its hard to be heroic
In a system not designed for us
And everybody know it
We look like Sheila
America like Mike
Blinded quote unquote freedom
Some too tired to fight
Will there ever be peace
Is harmony so non-existent
Fighting to live, living to fight
This fact or fiction
The media molding the people like clay
Thats why I pray everyday
But ran out of something to say
When BLM make them madder than KKK
I aint talkin Southwest
When I wanna get away
When BLM make them madder than KKK
I aint talkin Southwest
When I wanna get away
We pray

When we unite unite unite
We gon be alright alright alright
When we unite unite unite
We gon be alright alright alright
Until it's UNITY
We gon be divided you and I see why
And if you feel me throw ya hands in the sky
And wave em from side to side like
Ay, ay, ay, ay

We on deck
Still begging for respect
We kneeling on the field
While they kneeling on our necks
Now watch the finesse, to justify the arrest
Now add a should've complied
To justify the death
More press, but no rest
Though I detect
These companies feeling pressed
Let's send a mass email
Stating how we detest
So when they go to protest
Our name won't be in the press
I promise they playing chess
They probably want a check
Their problems we won't address
But got em this street address
Sorry if I'm not impressed
My people depressed
And it's time we hit reset
Four hundred years of being oppressed
What's the affect
To feel the need to hang ourselves from trees I guess
That's what y'all want us to think
What you expect
Well that's a bigger insult to my intellect
So this one here, this for the culture
Won't catch me on stage tripping like Ye or Oprah
And to the Father I'm praying that you get closer
Cause when we unite
I promise there's nothing doper

When we unite unite unite
We gon be alright alright alright
When we unite unite unite
We gon be alright alright alright
Until it's UNITY
We gon be divided you and I see why
And if you feel me throw ya hands in the sky
And wave em from side to side like
Ay, ay, ay, ay
