Good To Be Black
They wanna take my soul
They wanna take it all
If there's an issue I know who the fuck I'm not gon call
The biggest racist institution run around with arms
And then they end a nigga if he ever lose his calm
Police academy or motherfucking KKK?
The only difference is the other one gon wear a cape
How many people gon be eyeing me throughout the day?
I don't know what to say
I feel it every day
Man
Feels good to be black today
Feels good to be black today hey
Feels good to be black today
Ain't it so fucking good to be black today?
Feels good to be black today
Feels good to be black today hey
Feels good to be black today
Ain't it so fucking good to be black today?
Woke up in the morning, message from the president
He said they shooting all the looters so the message sent
He called us thugs but we all know what that represent
The hidden language for a nigga from the other skin
Man but every day it's a new event
God's country where the people live off their contempt
The Christian followers will twist the word to stay content
That holy water ain't enough to rinse up all they sins
I pray my father give the fallen perfect residence
Because the world done took it all then made us pay the rent
Because this world done shipped us off and threw us in the trench
They took it all nigga, and it's problem nigga
Then take our culture but the culture never getting paid
We took the knee and then they shut us up in every way
But we gon ball like the motherfucking NBA
Ain't no dribble strong enough to stop a nigga say
Man, Feels good to be black today
Feels good to be black today hey
Feels good to be black today
Ain't it so fucking good to be black today?
Feels good to be black today
Feels good to be black today hey
Feels good to be black today
Ain't it so fucking good to be black today?
My black is beautiful
My black is who I am
And I'm a human being
They'll never understand
I'm just like you
Can't you see?
Shit, that's just a motherfucking dream nigga
In my perfect world I can do a lot of things
Walk into a store and ain't nobody eyeing me
Going for a jog and everybody lets me be
Walking late at night and no one even questions me
Feels good to be black today
Feels good to be black today hey
Feels good to be black today
Ain't it so fucking good to be black today?
George Floyd
Ahmaud Arbery
Breonna Taylor
And the countless others that have suffered due to police brutality
May you rest in power
Maybe change will come some day
They wanna take it all
If there's an issue I know who the fuck I'm not gon call
The biggest racist institution run around with arms
And then they end a nigga if he ever lose his calm
Police academy or motherfucking KKK?
The only difference is the other one gon wear a cape
How many people gon be eyeing me throughout the day?
I don't know what to say
I feel it every day
Man
Feels good to be black today
Feels good to be black today hey
Feels good to be black today
Ain't it so fucking good to be black today?
Feels good to be black today
Feels good to be black today hey
Feels good to be black today
Ain't it so fucking good to be black today?
