Eneeks - Black Love (feat. Sabrina Washington & Stush)

Where should I really start
How many years have we been torn apart
Is this black life imitating art
When we're both at a loss looking for a spark
But when you're speaking from the heart
I need to pay attention
You say we never love our own I know it's hard to mention
But the city full of sin takes me for a spin
Brothers getting baby mothers dead or in the pen
And black girls never trusting black men to defend
But we're dying on the road for the code foe or friend
It's hard to pretend and amend
And you wonder why the ends are called the ends
We pit the dark skin girl against the light one
Or put our black queen down for a white one
And I can understand brother when it's love its love
But we don't date black why do we fight one
And I admit it we don't get it cause in spite of some
The sisters got our backs they never hide or run
Broken communication from the plantation and 365 days we go around the sun
We screaming black lives matter with no peace in our manner
And we can't get along to climb our own ladder
What's sadder that we argue to the sun rise
And now I can't see my daughter or my son rise
I never realised how we were going eye for eye
Our own anger crucifies leaves us all blind
Ignoring all signs
Crossing all lines
We just repeating history from another time fine
And we ain't never loving cause we arguing
And we are never hugging cause we charging in
I gotta speak straight from the heart again
Black queen we need to start again
Go

Self love is the way for the black kids
Self love is the way for the black kids
We are the kings and the queens in these chapters
We are the kings and the queens in these chapters
They can love they can hate us but the true fact is
They can love they can hate us but the true fact is
I'm so proud just to live in my blackness
I'm so proud just to live in my blackness
Black kings and queens together we can live out our lives
Love yourself and know your worth you'll turn out just fine
We just need the time to fix our hearts and our minds
It's black love
Living our own minds

Black man your backs to the wall facing the outcome
That's how come I'm staring out the window like Malcolm
Without funds your driven in this game like out run
I pray you live to be a strong black proud one so allow them
When you be getting searched upon a random
With powders in your boxes and I don't mean talcum
Trying to find a better way
Out of these surroundings
You fight the streets until the jakes fire like Dhalsim
That's why your not scourging
You're trying to bring pounds in
So you can lift your family out these council housing
The disrespect you face at work is astounding
Queens when your king comes home make sure you crown him
In a relationship we navigate the foul winds
Girls we need more conversing instead of shouting
Guys not raise your hand in anger when we doubting
And going overboard like our ancestors drowning
Cause we got a shared history
If they dissing you then they dissing me
It's time to keep it clean like Listerine
Black love is the key
Let's own it like apostrophes
Dark skin light skin beef not for me
Let's show them that we're not divided psychologically
By dancing around the subject choreography
Let's do away with stereotypes that have gotten to be
Played out like hatred of self and rapper misogyny
That only boost the European beauty ideology
One of the main reasons a black girls got a weave
While looking mix only makes us look obsolete
How we gonna love the black we don't wanna see
We originals it's facts no apologies
It's time to show the Nubian family is not an anomaly
But first we got to break the monotony
Black love

Self love is the way for the black kids
We are the kings and the queens in these chapters
They can love they can hate us but the true fact is
I'm so proud just to live in my blackness
I'm so proud just to live in my blackness
Black kings and queens together we can live out our lives
Love yourself and know your worth you'll turn out just fine
We just need the time to fix our hearts and our minds
We just need time to fix our minds
It's black love
Black kings and queens together we can live out our lives
I don't know how much further
Love yourself and know your worth you'll turn out just fine
This is your time
We just need the time to fix our hearts and our minds
Use your hearts and mind
We just need time to fix our minds
It's black love
