Deztine' - Ain't Gone Go Down

We ain't gone go down bruh
We ain't gone go down bruh
We ain't gone go down bruh
We ain't gone go down bruh
We ain't gone go down bruh
We ain't gone go down bruh
We ain't gone go down bruh

They try 2 keep us down
They try 2 keep us down
But uh, we gone be around
Might as well change up now
They try 2 keep us down
They try 2 keep us down
But uh, we gone be around
Might as well change up now
They try 2 keep us down
They try 2 keep us down
But uh, we gone be around
Might as well change up now
They try 2 keep us down
They try 2 keep us down
But uh, we gone be around
Might as well change up now

Black Queen on the throne
Made from the rib but is the backbone
This melanin comes in all tones
Look around and tell me I'm wrong
We got the mindset to keep the world strong
And the skill to hold down our own
But we used to stand for oppression
Now it seems as though everybody's lips is sewn
Tell me one more again
How they're killin our kids
And they gettin away it
Tryna claim that it's justice
Due to our reluctance
Yo sumn gotta change cause it just feels so damn unlucky
No hate, my pride ain't ugly
Black love is a threat to the opposing
See the drugs and the so called thugs
Just know that they're blind to the plan that's working
This system wasn't built for us
So why should it receive my trust
Our women they lust
Trump charges on our men so they stay locked up...Wooo
But yall don't hear me though
Learn your black history
Gaining knowledge is a necessity
It will take a village to achieve
Coming together is the key
They will only teach what they know
Which is nothing
Cause their families
Aren't experiencing
The death toll of theirs rising
The hope that's promised but they hiding
When royalty is living in poverty
Or how the hell when everyone's so mixed
Oh!...who's the real minority

They try 2 keep us down
They try 2 keep us down
But uh, we gone be around
Might as well change up now
They try 2 keep us down
They try 2 keep us down
But uh, we gone be around
Might as well change up now
They try 2 keep us down
They try 2 keep us down
But uh, we gone be around
Might as well change up now
They try 2 keep us down
They try 2 keep us down
But uh, we gone be around
Might as well change up now

Observe in silence
No need to resort to violence
Turn other cheek in this crisis
Wanna change how they look at us like savages
Ravages, that can't never handle it
When in fact, we can
It's just with us, there's often generalization
Supposed to be diverse as a nation
I guess we gotta have more patience
Or they could just pay more attention
Cause the details are often what's missin
Stop worryin bout two dudes kissin
Instead bout why murderers are getting paid vacation
Neva gonna knock down the turn up cause as I live another day
I'm grateful and celebratin
If it's bout my kings, there's no hesitatin
My fellow queens are too underrated
We're told we're out if line if we speak our mind
Nah honey, if u try
To stop us, you're gonna waste ya time
The revolution ain't at it's prime
Gang violence doin 3 K crime
Same difference cause the hate of a color
Tell me why you hate ya fellow brother
Gotta say black hate is like no other
You say you woke but still sleep under the covers
Learn more than the general knowledge of ya ancestors
Be inspired by who you are

They try 2 keep us down
They try 2 keep us down
But uh, we gone be around
Might as well change up now
They try 2 keep us down
They try 2 keep us down
But uh, we gone be around
Might as well change up now
They try 2 keep us down
They try 2 keep us down
But uh, we gone be around
Might as well change up now
They try 2 keep us down
They try 2 keep us down
But uh, we gone be around
Might as well change up now

Black Queen on the throne
Made from the rib but is the backbone
This melanin comes in all tones
Look around and tell me I'm wrong
We got the mindset to keep the world strong
And the skill to hold down our own
But we used to stand for oppression
Now it seems as though everybody's lips is sewn
They try 2 keep us down
They try 2 keep us down
But uh, we gone be around
Might as well change up now
They try 2 keep us down
They try 2 keep us down
But uh, we gone be around
Might as well change up now
They try 2 keep us down
They try 2 keep us down
But uh, we gone be around
Might as well change up now
They try 2 keep us down
They try 2 keep us down
But uh, we gone be around
Might as well change up now
