Black Swans
We take the rain
We see the sun
Crawled on our knees
Til we could run
Another day, we gonna strive
We feel the pain cuz we're alive
Black Swans are coming
Black Swans are coming
Behold a dark people
So regal bringing the light
They said we was unequal, so lethal
Begins the plight
Like the Black Swan Effect
You can't expect the change thats comin
My people running
God Saved the best for last
Number one in the draft
Devastations what slavery caused
Check my neighborhood, its aching and it's breaking cuz of ya'll
Vacant of applause
But in fact, cut you some slack
Cuz now the onus is on our backs
Conditions changed, got a sign, and it reads Barack
So, I ain't mad at you just like Pac
We can choose to empower and uplift the block
If we abuse the power and resist the plot
We gonna lose our inheritance and miss our shot
And oh, there goes our relevance
Ghetto fab forget elegance
History will prove that we've forgotten our intelligence
Forgotten our religion
Forgot the Qur'an and Gideon
My people soul is deeper
Spirit reaching the steeples
Keep ya equal
We take the rain
We see the sun
Crawled on our knees
Til we could run
Another day, we gonna strive
We feel the pain cuz we're alive
Black Swans are coming
Black Swans are coming
They said the meek shall inherit the earth
But what it seems
Is that the weak
Have stole the worth of kings and queens
You can tell they was liars
The stolen empires
But you never saw a blue iris sketched in papyrus
They tried to steal the truth
Throw the proof into fires
Claimed the pyramids of Giza
Assassinated our leaders
They even changed the hair and skin tone of Christ Jesus
They locked us in the chains, tried to change us all to heathens
This query got me quandarin' ponderin the paradox
How to put the pain back, back in Pandoras Box
Salat by the cotton crop, we holy field negus
Now we fight with this iron mike for Holyfield figures, yeah
We take the rain
We see the sun
Crawled on our knees
Til we could run
Another day, we gonna strive
We feel the pain cuz we're alive
Never thought that I would see a day like this
Finally reached abundance, no more deficit
I insist, we aint stoppin one bit
As God is our witness, get this
My people are infinite
Black Swans are coming
Black Swans are coming
We take the rain
We see the sun
Crawled on our knees
Til we could run
Another day, we gonna strive
We feel the pain cuz we're alive
You ain't even gotta give us freedom
We were born free, We were born free, We were born free
We see the sun
Crawled on our knees
Til we could run
Another day, we gonna strive
We feel the pain cuz we're alive
Black Swans are coming
Black Swans are coming
Behold a dark people
So regal bringing the light
They said we was unequal, so lethal
Begins the plight
