Black Privilege 4 |
We shall overcome |
We will pick up the pieces |
We’ve always been so strong |
We can build empires with our will |
And I will climb so high |
And the people will rise once again |
It’s in my DNA |
It’s my privilege yea |
I Gaze at the horizon see the sun rising |
With an idea that sparked a barrel full of gun powder |
Been bashed and laughed at bad mouthed and assed out |
Crashing out on a stranger’s couch passed out |
I never tapped out got myself a laptop |
Treat it like a trap house and make sure that the track hot |
Always had to fend for myself investing in myself |
I refuse to put the blame on anybody else |
Was told I needed hits was told my numbers too low |
Was told I was too lyrical and I needed some new clothes |
Was told nobody knows you, you need some more publicity |
Get some tats, dye ya hair, make your image more interesting |
Follow fads, matter fact, take ya pride and swallow that |
That’s where you wrong, I don’t show my ass for follow backs |
Then it hit me like a ton of bricks up in my gut |
They banking on the fact we thinking we not good enough |
We shall overcome |
We will pick up the pieces |
We’ve always been so strong |
We can build empires with our will |
And I will climb so high |
And the people will rise once again |
It’s in my DNA |
It’s my privilege yea |
We cried a desert of tears enough to fill up all the Great Lakes |
And made us sing amazing grace so they can save face |
Endangered like honey bees we the worlds melaninators |
My soul stuck inside a Paisley Park elevator |
This ain’t for the charts, travel to the uncharted |
We bombarded tackling obstacles unguarded |
Bout to finish what I done started |
Mix some black magic with some mutant powers to become marvels |
And from a spark all things are possible |
No weapons that’s formed against us shall prosper |
And no longer shall slander against our name stick |
Left our baggage on that boat and we abandoned ship! |
Game face like everyday’s a championship |
And take flight without thinking of a landing strip |
From a seed grows trees like Malcom by any means |
Word to Combat Jack we gon' dreams those dreams |
We shall overcome |
We will pick up the pieces |
We’ve always been so strong |
We can build empires with our will |
And I will climb so high |
And the people will rise once again |
It’s in my DNA |
It’s my privilege yea |
Know your place |
Know your worth |
It was written |
With blood |
In the dirt |
That you are |
A child of kings (yea) |
Every time they tell you no |
You have to take a swing (yea) |
I am living proof |
Descendant of slaves |
They try to tell me no and make me behave |
We can’t help but lift our voice and sing |
(lift every voice and sing) |
We found our power |
And the joy that it brings |
Name | Year |
