Black & Proud
(Martin Luther King, Jr. Speaking)
I thank God for being a black man
I gotta prove myself amongst all men
This world ain't built for the weak man
I'm tryna make a way for my kids yeah
Gotta make it big around this year
This life I live has never been fair
I been working hard but I'm still here
Solo still stuck oh lord
I didn't quit but I almost
This time I lead I did follow
Ain't no way back but cornrows
I'm all I got that's for sure
The color of my skin ain't no threat yo
Open the way lemme breathe yo
Feel the pain for my people
It's about time let's get along
Lemme start a scene I wanna play a role
Madiba said is a long walk
I got hands lemme hold on
Green lights i'mma keep going
Do the maths we ain't equal
Some of us still behind uhh
Ain't non matter until I matter
There's no matter
Ain't non matter until I matter
There's no matter
Ain't non matter until I matter
There's no matter
Ain't non matter until I matter
There's no matter
They took a knee on my dignity
How you justify this tragedy
All lives matter that's a make believe
Less self hate more unity
Together bro we can make it big
Let's stay woke I had a dream
I wanna take a stand I don't wanna sit
Better take my voice coz I'm gonna speak
Hold up my heart as a drink lemme pour up An keep my head up
We black and proud let's rise up
They never liked us
I ain't done no harm I got my fist high
This is from my heart not a freestyle
Until BLM we gon go hard this is trauma
Together as one let's rise up
I thank God for being a black man
I gotta prove myself amongst all men
This world ain't built for the weak man
I'm tryna make a way for my kids yeah
Gotta make it big around this year
This life I live has never been fair
I been working hard but I'm still here
Solo still stuck oh lord
I didn't quit but I almost
This time I lead I did follow
Ain't no way back but cornrows
I'm all I got that's for sure
The color of my skin ain't no threat yo
Open the way lemme breathe yo
Feel the pain for my people
It's about time let's get along
Lemme start a scene I wanna play a role
Madiba said is a long walk
I got hands lemme hold on
Green lights i'mma keep going
Do the maths we ain't equal
Some of us still behind uhh
Ain't non matter until I matter
There's no matter
Ain't non matter until I matter
There's no matter
Ain't non matter until I matter
There's no matter
Ain't non matter until I matter
There's no matter
They took a knee on my dignity
How you justify this tragedy
All lives matter that's a make believe
Less self hate more unity
Together bro we can make it big
Let's stay woke I had a dream

Better take my voice coz I'm gonna speak
Hold up my heart as a drink lemme pour up An keep my head up

This is from my heart not a freestyle
Until BLM we gon go hard this is trauma
Together as one let's rise up
