Black Baby
I have no apologies
On how I feel freely
Made by the hands of God
So you cannot judge me
Or anyone that I inspire
We need love in the world that will take us higher
But we stuck like Chaka through the fire
And through the wire
Is love really here
Somewhere over the rainbow lives
Humanity
With Dorothy
And her dog
Somewhere over the rainbow lives
Community
And loyalty
Through the fog
Who gon' help the black baby
In this world can't get enough
Life can make a nigga crazy
Easy to get those handcuffs
Who gon' help the black baby
In this world can't get enough
Life can make a nigga crazy
Easy to get those handcuffs
Black babies dying
Black mommas crying
Sons and daughters try to heal
In the awkward silence
Mental health ain't getting better
With the constant sirens
Seem like black people pray (Prey)
And white people lying (Lion)
A losing game like Amy said
With a different twist
Like a job but ain't nobody getting benefits
We're struggling and everybody wants to plead the 5th
Take my culture then the whole world saids it's different
Martin Luther had a dream
From the mountains tops
And without doubt I still haven't seen us
Can I really walk around
Feel safe in church like praise and worship songs to Jesus
My soul toss up like a coin in a wishing well
Praying for my black people hoping wishing well
Watching Nickelodeon
Escape the thoughts I feel
What black people do to live healthy
Very keen and kale
What black do to live healthy very keen and kale
What black people do to live healthy
Who gon' help the black baby
In this world can't get enough
Life can make a nigga crazy
Easy to get those handcuffs
On how I feel freely
Made by the hands of God
So you cannot judge me
Or anyone that I inspire
We need love in the world that will take us higher
But we stuck like Chaka through the fire
And through the wire
Is love really here
Somewhere over the rainbow lives
Humanity
With Dorothy
And her dog
Somewhere over the rainbow lives
Community
And loyalty
Through the fog
Who gon' help the black baby
In this world can't get enough
Life can make a nigga crazy
Easy to get those handcuffs
Who gon' help the black baby
In this world can't get enough
Life can make a nigga crazy
Easy to get those handcuffs
Black babies dying
Black mommas crying
Sons and daughters try to heal
In the awkward silence
Mental health ain't getting better
With the constant sirens
Seem like black people pray (Prey)
And white people lying (Lion)
A losing game like Amy said
With a different twist
Like a job but ain't nobody getting benefits
We're struggling and everybody wants to plead the 5th
Take my culture then the whole world saids it's different

And without doubt I still haven't seen us

Feel safe in church like praise and worship songs to Jesus
My soul toss up like a coin in a wishing well
Praying for my black people hoping wishing well

What black do to live healthy very keen and kale
What black people do to live healthy
Who gon' help the black baby
In this world can't get enough
Life can make a nigga crazy
Easy to get those handcuffs
