You're Worth It (feat. Britney Jane & N3ptune)

Oooo little black girl little black girl
Oooo little black girl little black girl

When a child won't smile gotta figure what still hurts
What still hurts
Don't suffer in silence cause you don't know your worth
Baby you're worth it
You're worth it
When a child won't smile
Baby you're worth it you're worth it

Monday after Sunday we missin young Lex
Running in the world unforgiving complex
Remember when you wrote pain on a note for class
Told me bout your braces and boys smackin ya
Who taught us that
Violence in ya mind oppressin divine power
Queens lead the people and people can be a coward
Life gives you lemons lemonhead feel sour stay sweet compete for the better and never Sleep
Streets feast
Sprout through concrete
Cypher in a circle and rhyme on that beat
Defeat among the lessons confessions is just a message
Alley testimony testin phonies bologna ya lonely...

When a child won't smile gotta figure what still hurts
What still hurts
Don't suffer in silence cause you don't know your worth
Baby you're worth it
You're worth it
When a child won't smile
Baby you're worth it
You're worth it

Woke up to the five oh at the doe
Interrogated Shauna when her mama wasn't home
Feds had to lie
Had to make a fib
Didn't care about justice for these black and brown kids
Put her bail Hella High
Hella High"
Two hunnid thou wow
That's why she in the dog pound
Im talkin now now
Mama went homeless payin lawyers for that pow pow
She like Cyntoia Brown
Wouldn't do the pretrial
Pretrialfromhome hashtag on a shirt
Let'em know you ain't forgot what the black body's worth
We tha dirt and the earth
Let it be known
Black is beautiful
Let's bring our people home

When a child won't smile gotta figure what still hurts
What still hurts
Don't suffer in silence cause you don't know your worth
Baby you're worth it
You're worth it
When a child won't smile
Baby you're worth it
You're worth it

This is for my mother
We had to love each other through the thick and the thin
We found a way to win
At 14, you had a black boy next year came Koobs can't imagine what you've been Through
Had to give'em up
C'Mon
Gramma stressed out
Papi not around takin night school classes in the town
Ridin round them scrapers makin paper chasin dreams of degrees
Gave it up for me...
That's love for a seed...
I went to college
I got the knowledge that our people really need i ain't gonna let you down...
Brenda had a baby
But look at us now!
