| Just like old times, right? |
| Look, I’m here for the young’uns with they pants saggin' |
| And homies is flaggin, some say 'What up cuz?' |
| or 'What's bracking?" |
| Nothin' lacking on the corner, bread stacking |
| Pray to God that nobody have to toe tag 'em |
| He ain’t be trapping in a minute |
| Use the re-up money for the tithes and the rent |
| Told his baby momma that he love her any minute |
| Pastor dipped him in that water after he repented |
| Granny told him he don’t need a souvenir in church |
| Straight up out the street, think he made the deacons nervous |
| We just tryna learn a word and keep from getting murdered |
| We be on that Kirk and Kendrick Sunday after service |
| You can call it worship, Tamir Rice done got us nervous |
| Innocent and killed like Christ is how they hurt us |
| But I’m here for that |
| Probably ain’t gonna get a lot of cheers for that |
| I just do it for the love, I do it for the love (I do it) |
| I do it for the broke and the poor, those all feel ignored |
| I’m here for that |
| Tell 'em we woke and we alert now |
| I promise there’s healing for your hurt now |
| Yeah, tell 'em we came to put in work now |
| Yeah, can I get a amen from the church now? |
| Love over hate, love over hate |
| I’m here for that |
| Real over fake, real over fake |
| I’m here for that |
| Truth and faith, truth and faith |
| I’m here for that |
| Beauty and grace, beauty and grace |
| I’m here for that |
| If you’re here for the love, if you’re here for the love, for the love (can the |
| church say amen?) |
| If you’re here for the love, if you’re here for the love, for the love |
| If you’re here for the love, if you’re here for the love, for the love (can the |
| church say amen?) |
| If you’re here for the love, if you’re here for the love, for the love |
| For my sisters who be fighting for that justice, uh, I’m here for that |
| Real fathers, loving on they wives and kids, I’m here for that |
| My wife is classy but a little ratchet, yeah I’m here for that |
| West coast feeling but I still live in the A homeboy, I’m here for that |
| When I walk on the courthouse judge feel the case out, definitely here for that |
| Y’know when that unexpected check comes in the mail, cuz, I’m here for that |
| Always here for that |
| Uh, always I’m here for that |
| Gotta love it, gotta love it, gotta love it, gotta love it |
| It means to be broadened, y’know, beyond the understanding that black women are |
| strong |
| Body and souls and so we’re not only strong, we are, we are helpers, |
| we are lovers, we are fighters, y’know, we, we love strong |
| But we are also human, y’know that mean’s we are vulnerable |
| Y’know we are, we hurt, y’know we ache, like everybody else |
| We need somebody, to, to be strong for us when we are taking the bumps, |
| the bruises we’re here on the frontlines, fighting so many battles that many |
| people are not privy to and so I think that |
| So y’know we are sisters, we are aunts, y’know we are deaconesses, |
| we are leaders in our churches, y’know, we are speakers, we are writers, |
| y’know we are corporate, y’know, CEO board executives |
| We are advocates, we need our brothers to stand up and defend black womanhood |
| Don’t silence us, y’know, be happy that we are here to enable you, |
| to empower you |
| But we also need that empowerment to go both ways |
