BIB (feat. Teo the Artist)
Swear my hair is godly
And my skin like holy
All my enemies waiters
Because the table before me
Because the world gon hate me
Yet they still adore me
Cause they love the way I rap
Or shoot big shots like I'm Horry
But I'ma product of my grandma prayers
Knighted nappy black kids as heirs
So they wouldn't be scared
Cause we the fruits of all the labor
So we made em prepared
And tell any kid in my city that the world is theirs
Cause Black is special
But it's still a target
So we lifting every voice because we started marching
But they don't hear us and still place us high on the market
Through all the marketing schemes
And all the broader regimes
That try to kill us like we don't matter
But we still here
Rose in concrete when all the pedals appear
And the petty attempts to ground us never prosper
Formed weapons won't prosper
That mean coppers and choppers
When I'm choppin up the soul
Never offer my soul
Offering the first fruits
Like it's silver and gold
But our silver and gold
Be the kids and future
Give em the keys to the kingdom
Because God knew us
And let make it home from all the state troopers
And all the stray bullets
They tryna copy our style like they ain't took it
But the kids will change the world while the world lookin
Black kids will change the world
I love my melanin
My glow is evident
Cause Black is beautiful
Black is beautiful
I love my melanin
My glow is evident
Cause Black is beautiful
Black is beautiful
This just like water for chocolate
Like owning all ya masters
Making music for profit
My mama knighted me a king
But they ordaining a prophet
Profiting streets of gold sent to all the kids on block
Tryna clean the neighborhood where all my homies got shot
Or took away by the cops
Like they did my boy Jemel
His dream was being a cop
But I got my fist raised
Cause We never gon stop
Gonna keep these names alive
Cause we never gon stop
For Ahmad
Breona
George
Trayvon
Philando
Sandra
Iyonna
We stay strong
Always speak up
Don't ever ease up
They gon try seize us
Even though we peaceful
Tryna do my ancestors proud
Know they all in the clouds
It's a gift being black
You can tell that I'm proud
Black kings and queens
Far from average beings
Nappy headed blessings
So I'm finna say it loud
I love my melanin
My glow is evident
Cause Black is beautiful
Black is beautiful
I love my melanin
My glow is evident
Cause Black is beautiful
Black is beautiful
And my skin like holy
All my enemies waiters
Because the table before me
Because the world gon hate me
Yet they still adore me
Cause they love the way I rap
Or shoot big shots like I'm Horry
But I'ma product of my grandma prayers
