Black Boy Joy

Young black king you mean something
Don't let them tell you otherwise
And the melanin that runs deep is golden but they colour blind
So it's not everyday screw face in the pictures, or be camera shy
Sometimes smile
Make the sunshine
Black boy joy it's our time

Real men cry but we keep it pushing
If you're feeling down don't over look it
Even if you don't want talk about it you have to bite that bullet

We grew up dodging bullets
Some of us were throwing hands signs
So the dirt underneath these scars we can't even sanitise
But such is life

We kings nevertheless
And our rein is perpetuous
Durag matching the creps
So our style is effortless
You know what makes me wanna cry
When one of us die
We all die
They try change our destiny with statistics and stereotypes

But anything you wanna do
You can do it
Whether it's ball or music
If they try put a target on your back make sure you remove it

Go on touch the sky
Forever live on stick to your vision
Make smart decisions
Shoot your shot with precision
Be teachable and learn to listen

Remember
Suicide ain't the answer when tings aren't going well
I know we hardly talk about it
Please, protect your mental health

Find other black kings, surround yourself
Build repair pick up the ones who fell
I said build, repair and pick up the ones who fell

Young black king
Young black king
You can fly
Spread your wings
Young black king
Young black king
You can fly
Spread your wings

Young black king you mean something
Don't let them tell you otherwise
And the melanin that runs deep is golden but they colour blind
So it's not everyday screw face in the pictures or be camera shy
Sometimes smile, make the sunshine
Black boy joy it's our time

Young black king you mean something
Don't let them tell you otherwise
And the melanin that runs deep is golden but they colour blind
So it's not everyday screw face in the pictures, or be camera shy
Sometimes smile make the sunshine
Black boy joy it's our time

I deserve the world imma go get it
My skin colour ain't a weapon
I shine when the sun comes out that's a blessing
My flex is my complexion

I lean when I walk
Slang when I talk
From today my black boy joy is born
From today my black boy joy is born

Young black king you mean something
Don't let them tell you otherwise
And the melanin that runs deep is golden but they colour blind
So it's not everyday screw face in the pictures, or be camera shy

Sometimes smile make the sunshine
Black boy joy it's our time
