Black is King
Uh
Just one verse
Black is king
Uh
Cinnamon brown
Cinnamon brown
Kinks in your crown
Seed from the Nile
Just show me a smile
Just show me a smile
Them pearls gleamin'
When I pull up and hop out you know them girls screamin'
God damn
Baby you starin' at a black man
I got the world inside my black hand
Movin' like a black panther
Pledge allegiance to me
It's the damn anthem
Lend alliance to we
That's the damn answer
Let's rid the world of hate
It's a damn cancer
Yeah
I got that aura and it glows bright
Sorry they ain't got our color inside the store tonight
You know they ain't sellin' this in the Sephora right
One of sun
Can't buy my skin and try to sport it like
Or jack my style and
Walk like me and talk like me
Knowin' niggas been gettin' profiled since tall white tees
In Air Jordans 'cause we all wanna be like Mike
But look at you
You wanna be like me
And look at her
She wanna be like she
Look at the world
They wanna be like we
'Cause black is king nigga
Black is king and we can't forget our queens
'Cause if we do we lost
I clutch the black fist pick with a golden cross
It's crazy how they treat our people up until this day
When deep down we know we the ones that they wanna be
They steal our culture
Appropriate like it's funny
Then take our name and use and abuse it just for the money
I'm tryna figure when the real justice gone come
Been protestin' for over 20 years
I'm feeling numb
Numb to the pain
Like Novocain
Why every time I turn the TV on another black man slain
Slain from the violence
We slain from the mental strain that it puts on the brain
When we viewin' these things
This shit is insane
But I know one thing
Uh
We gotta keep pushing
Our people are strong
We can't control what's going on
But we
Control how we react
Ain't askin' for no handouts or no damn dap
Just tryna get a fair shot in this game called life
And for my people to stop bein' killed that shit is trife
Just want to grow old while living a beautiful life
And raise the next generation to be our shinin' light
'Cause black is king
Just one verse
Black is king
Uh
Cinnamon brown
Cinnamon brown
Kinks in your crown
Seed from the Nile
Just show me a smile
Just show me a smile
Them pearls gleamin'
When I pull up and hop out you know them girls screamin'
God damn
Baby you starin' at a black man
I got the world inside my black hand
Movin' like a black panther
Pledge allegiance to me
It's the damn anthem
Lend alliance to we
That's the damn answer
Let's rid the world of hate
It's a damn cancer
