Melanin Pride
I got melanin, melanin, melanin, melanin
Black man pure intelligence
White man think he better than
That's not true where's evidence?
Black man surely heaven sent
They treat me like sediment
Centuries we've been settling
Now we coming for the loot they better let us in
I'm a melanated celebrated melanoid
Elevated calibrated asteroid
Purely aiming for the space that fills the void
At a lethal rate, disintegrate, destroy.
No replacement I'm adjacent to the noise
I'm outrageous spitting lines I just enjoy
Dedicated writing rhymes and bringing joy
Meditated getting high now I'm deployed (huh!)
Fuck with the boy spitting these lines just to avoid getting employed
I see through the lies they want me to sign they want me to join
I'm not surprised they see my demise and get filled with joy
I get so annoyed, I get so annoyed
(Uyazi) How it goes we've been living in tears and you know
They inflicted the fear from the go
Have us hanging from trees with a rope
Many years they've been digging our gold
They all eat while we're left in the cold
We be praying to God save our souls
I swear all that we got is this hope
How it goes we've been living in tears and you know
They inflicted the fear from the go
Have us hanging from trees with a rope
Many years they've been digging our gold
They all eat while we're left in the cold
We be praying to God save our souls
I swear all that we got is this hope
I got melanin, melanin, melanin, melanin
Black man pure intelligence
White man think he better than
That's not true where's evidence?
black man surely heaven sent
They treat me like sediment
Centuries we've been settling
Now we coming for the loot they better let us in
Yeah too many years we've been suffering
Too many years we've been struggling
Now we just going through life and we tryna do right we just pushing and hustling
We gotta put up a fight coz the future is bright man I swear that it's glistening
I'm just possessing the light like I'm flying a kite man I hope that you listening
Yeah you listening, man I hope that you listening
Making decisions, conceiving the vision, completing the mission it's imminent
We live in division connection is missing the baddest condition ambivalent feelings we having they busy attacking Our culture attacking our melanin (yeah)
Surrendering never
A different endeavour
We living in this era
We're spending it in terror
Ascending coz we're clever
Pretending that they better
Oppression for their pleasure
We're blessed and that's forever
Yeah blasting at me man I feel so cold so weak is my soul what the fuck are they asking from me
Man I've been on the go got a heart made of gold I'm thinking rationally
Fuck the shit that they sold wanna leave me controlled
And hinting casually that I'm black and that's nasty for me
I got melanin, melanin, melanin, melanin
Black man pure intelligence
White man think he better than
That's not true where's evidence?
Black man surely heaven sent
They treat me like sediment
Centuries we've been settling
Now we coming for the loot they better let us in
Black man pure intelligence
White man think he better than
That's not true where's evidence?
Black man surely heaven sent
They treat me like sediment
