Sean Kellz - With All My Blackness

With all my blackness
I'ma play this music as loud as I want to
What you gon do
In all my blackness
Still blows my mind how they think they gon tell me what I can't do
For all my blackness
Ain't a dollar that'll cover what I'm worth
It ain't in a gold chain
You want my blackness
Carry me the way you carry you cuz I carry me the same

Was born black
Ancestors were slaves
We know that
The road that was paved
What a throwback
Adapt to the change
We can't go back
See color in my brother
On the land the man thought he discovered
The acres he owes back
The American dream is just a dream
It ain't for everybody
Hold this all my blackness

What year is it now
Is the culture still being treated like it's 1865
Why they still talking all that jive
My mental health and I tryna survive
This cold cold world
But when my feelings come alive
And this melanin begins to shine
All my ancestors gone celebrate
My kinfolk gon dance
You ain't gotta worry bout what's for me and mine
Should've never came
Should've never gave us niggas nothing
Could've overate
Look whose coming late
I gotta cousin
Before they take me away
Momma, get 'em a plate
They're gonna love it
The culture got an update
Lemme demonstrate

With all my blackness
I'ma play this music as loud as I want to
What you gon do
In all my blackness
Still blows my mind how they think they gon tell me what I can't do
For all my blackness
Ain't a dollar that'll cover what I'm worth it ain't in a gold chain
You want my blackness
Carry me the way you carry you cuz I carry me the same

Was born black
Ancestors were slaves
We know that
The road that was paved
What a throwback
Adapt to the change
We can't go back
See color in my brother
On the land the man thought he discovered
The acres he owes back
The American dream is just a dream
It ain't for everybody
Hold this all my blackness

How is being a crooked cop not illegal
dollar bill say in God we trust
But still used to do evil
Why you think we go so hard for our people
Why they make it so hard to be equal
Oh, I'm still a human, in fact, a visionary
Make the wrong move in my shoes the vision gets scary
Seen as a black man first
Ultimate machine cuz a black man works
I'm with the light I know my rights
pick up the mic I'm the stereotype
Should've never came
Should've never gave us niggas nothing
Could've overate
Look whose coming late
I gotta cousin
Before they take me away
Momma, get 'em a plate
They're gonna love it
The culture got an update
Lemme demonstrate

With all my blackness
I'ma play this music as loud as I want to
In all my blackness
Still blows my mind how they think they gon tell me what I can't do
For all my blackness
Ain't a dollar that'll cover what I'm worth it ain't in a gold chain
You want my blackness
Carry me the way you carry you cuz I carry me the same

Was born black
Ancestors were slaves
We know that
The road that was paved
What a throwback
Adapt to the change
We can't go back
See color in my brother
On the land the man thought he discovered
The acres he owes back
The American dream is just a dream
It ain't for everybody
Hold this all my blackness
