Antoine Jason - My Black Is

My ancestors were Kings
Before they were slaves
A beautiful truth covered by too many stains
For the land of the free the home of the brave
Where they lie in history books to keep us enslaved

I empower my people
We made from the clay
Our bloodline royal
We breakin them chains
Of a system designed
To keep us at bay
Our cup runneth over
Because we guided by Faith
They gentrifying the hood to take it away
But we stronger together
So we still makin a way
Was taught my features were ugly
I've learned to embrace
My nappy hair big lips
And wide nose on my face
My Black is Beautiful
My Black is Powerful
My Black is Great
My Black is Excellent
Black awakening
Let me say
Not your monkey or your boy
N word or your ape
By the way we made America great
Sweat and tears of the slaves in the field used to hydrate
Then they turned against each other Willie Lynch mind-state
Now we must enrich each other til we reach thy gates of Heaven
Each one teach the next thy way
And pray every day

We protectin our women
Respect em' the same
Teaching our children so less repeatin mistakes
The devil is real I'm seein his face
When I turn on the T.V. he's all on the waves
I used to prove I was realer jumped all in your face
But now my reala end in estate
Good Lord willing my kids will be $traight
I'm trying to leave a legacy that leaves some food on the plates
For generations to come
Accumulation of funds
Redistribution of wealth
Manifestation of what I'm speakin into existence
Just like my God up above
And I praise YAHWEH
With my heart and my tongue
Yo we've came a long way
Look at all we've become
Keep pushin we can achieve what's never been done
Fail 99 times then we tryin a hun
Fail a hunid then we tryin 101 and it's soundin like

This is for our daughters
This is for our sons
This is for the kid without a father or a mom
This is for the one that's questioning
How they gon' love themselves when on the news
The only thing they say is that we're thugs
This for everybody who refusin giving up
2020 dealt some blows still we kept on gettin up
Dust ya self off live it up
I know they killin us
Our taxes pay these crooked cops
So how they billing us for our murders
Honestly I know it seem unheard of
But they can't hurt us cuz black people
We resilient like Nat Turner
Broke blinker never should result in a black burner
Pointed at my face when really it's cause my race
And it's sickenin plot just keep on thickenin
We just keep on growing
Borrowers now doing the loaning
Renters now become the ones doing the owning
Mr. President where them reparations y'all still owe us ha?
Where they at tho?
