Black Man

[00:02.86] Black man fightin' for survival
[00:04.28] Tryin' to stay alive for my kids, I'm their Idol
[00:08.27] Raised in a system designed for me to take the L
[00:09.03] So when you see us cryin' hard, that's vital
[00:11.82] Please don't call me urban, I don't think it, I'm certain
[00:14.06] Black king but they tryna make me feel like that's a burden
[00:16.44] Still chasin' the money and even when you get it
[00:19.08] They respek you on the sly, still look at man funny
[00:21.56] The most oppressed understand the stress
[00:22.69] That's not an angry black girl, that's an Empress
[00:24.82] Yes, we live life but we know death
[00:27.38] Police kill a black man, then we protest
[00:30.44] Listen, I swear down, man I'm tired now
[00:33.58] We need change right now, owe it right now
[00:35.45] Talk up, this ain't no time to be quiet now
[00:37.74] I ain't takin' time, this ain't no time for a time-out
[00:40.27] The biggest threat in the world ain't no nuclear bomb
[00:43.07] If black people unite, you know
[00:44.85] Everything's long, could you imagine it?
[00:46.86] Yeah I know man, mad ting
[00:48.37] I just pray and wait for the day man partin' it
[00:50.85] They just hope it don't happen, they couldn't manage it
[00:53.37] I'm so me, I'm so black with it
[00:55.62] I'm on point, I'm on track with it
[00:57.39] They killin' off black people, so if you're ridin' out
[01:00.04] I'm backin' it
[01:01.25] And to be honest, man, the truth of the matter
[01:03.45] All lives don't matter till black lives matter
[01:06.09] Dawg, this is bigger than a postcode passer
[01:08.63] Everyday new clip, new killin', maza
[01:11.32] Turn your card and work twice as harder to level with
[01:13.94] Someone you know you're better than, that's kinda hard
[01:16.50] They hear the bars and say I'm kinda hard
[01:18.68] Forget that, cah right now all I'm tryna do is highlight the scars
[01:22.08] Years of oppression, years of self-hate
[01:23.83] Years of killin' each other, years of walkin' with the weapon
[01:26.34] I ain't tryna hear "I don't care what you reckon"
[01:28.83] Don't think it's racist, here, come learn you a lesson
[01:31.52] You got us feelin' like our lives are threat
[01:34.10] I can't breathe with your knee on my neck
[01:36.61] We bleed the same, can't you see that it's red?
[01:39.14] I can't believe what I seen on the net
[01:41.77] P.D.C, you know we pray days change
[01:44.35] Wanna see change dawg, you gotta change
[01:46.83] Colour of my skin means I'm already guilty
[01:49.32] Don't trust the police, you know a lot of them are filthy
[01:52.19] Black and I'm proud, say it over and over
[01:54.99] Love black lives the way you love black culture
[01:57.51] We just want a fair shot
[01:59.03] But we can't get it
[02:00.16] Now you wonder why we got this big chip on our shoulder
[02:02.67] Bring forth your humanity, it's your weapon
[02:06.10] And the biggest weapon in the world today is the power of love
[02:12.03] Love is your colour today, yeah
[02:13.58] You are not black, you are not white
[02:16.49] You are the colour of love
[02:19.16] You have the rights, human rights
[02:23.74]
