| My daughter she a princess
|
| The world ain’t slaughtering her skin yet
|
| These Kanyes have not become important to the Kims yet
|
| But when she gets older there’ll be brothers same colour as her Pappa who will
|
| not be showing any sort of interest
|
| (Have mercy on my brothers, yeah)
|
| Disrespecting women who remind them of their mothers
|
| Disrespecting women who remind them of their sisters
|
| Disrespecting women who remind them of their cousins
|
| (Have mercy on my brothers)
|
| Everyone’s entitled to their own taste
|
| But every time you pricks make a statement
|
| I can find a rival in my own race
|
| I love all types of women
|
| Variety is okay
|
| But society will throw shade
|
| So who’s fighting for the sisters then
|
| When their own brothers keep on dissing them
|
| Try and picture Justin as a little one
|
| Daddy was around but I was raised by the womendem
|
| Nan, aunts, mummy
|
| Black woman significance
|
| So fuck you and your ignorance
|
| When I was young I had Ashanti on my wall
|
| And there was pictures of my family in my front room with certificates
|
| University graduates and good citizens
|
| Baby keep doing you
|
| Don’t let the world ruin you
|
| No matter what they say, you are beautiful
|
| Beauty’s in the eye of the beholder
|
| And we don’t know who is who
|
| Who are they to slew when they slewing you?
|
| Babe, you’re golden
|
| So Golden
|
| I need you golden
|
| So Golden
|
| I can cry those tears for you
|
| Again
|
| But just know I’ll be there for you
|
| To keep you golden
|
| And they say sticks don’t break no bones
|
| But their words might still hit home
|
| Broke up bags on concrete stones
|
| Look at all this is our soul
|
| To keep your golden
|
| So golden (so golden)
|
| So golden (so golden)
|
| I need you golden (so golden)
|
| So golden (so golden)
|
| Black rose
|
| When you was doing light skin vs dark skin
|
| Some was doing white skin vs our skin
|
| Divided and conquered
|
| Living but slightly unconscious
|
| Killing each other minor (problems)
|
| Do I define a monster
|
| Cos my knife is longer
|
| My left is weak but my right is stronger
|
| What I really mean is my writing’s stronger
|
| Should I wife a Kate or should I wife a Rhonda?
|
| I don’t mind either genre
|
| Brothers back home using cake soap
|
| I’m only caked up 'cause I make dough
|
| We’re all try stay afloat in the same boat
|
| But I’m trying to be the goat not scape goat
|
| Are you aware of who I am?
|
| There’s something called opinions and I really can’t escape those
|
| Er, he’s black and he’s ugly
|
| Nah, I’m black and I’m lovely
|
| Only god can judge me
|
| This ones ones for my brothers that are lonely in this fuckery
|
| Coming home from school and your shadows your only company
|
| Really I’m from Africa but I don’t know the country
|
| I’m a lost man
|
| Where the hell are my locks at?
|
| Got me looking at a dashiki like what’s that
|
| And still I’m jango to you house niggas
|
| I get even with the Stevens in combat
|
| Babe, you’re golden
|
| So golden (so golden)
|
| So golden (so golden)
|
| I need you golden (so golden)
|
| So golden (so golden)
|
| So golden (so golden)
|
| I can’t cry those tears for you
|
| Again
|
| But just know that I’ll be there for you
|
| To keep you golden |
