D. Knight - YOUNG BLACK KING

Unforgettable like young Nat King
How many kids they shot down that had dreams?
If life's a movie this feels like we in the last scenes
I just wanna live and be a young black king
'Cause everybody got a story worth telling
And I just wanna live and tell it
I just wanna live to tell it, aye

I was 20 hoping I'd make it to 21
Now I'm 22 tryna make it to 25
If I lose my life to policemen busting guns
They gon' call it everything except a homicide
PTSD got me feeling paranoid
Strobe lights in my mirror got me terrified
Officer probably hear the fear in my voice
While the only thing going through my mind is to comply

Unforgettable like young Nat King
How many kids they shot down that had dreams?
If life's a movie this feels like we in the last scenes
I just wanna live and be a young black king
'Cause everybody got a story worth telling
And I just wanna live and tell it
I just wanna live to tell it, aye

If I wanna see a change then I gotta be that
I'm a stand for something 'fore I die up on my kneecap
Revolutionary blood best believe I bleed that
My niggas on the front lines so who am I to sit back?
And not speak about what's going on
Contributing to make a difference what I'm focused on
This for everyone who feeling like all hope is gone
Kings and queens keep yo head up keep on holding on, for real

Unforgettable like young Nat King
How many kids they shot down that had dreams?
If life's a movie this feels like we in the last scenes
I just wanna live and be a young black king
'Cause everybody got a story worth telling
And I just wanna live and tell it
I just wanna live to tell it, aye

Unforgettable like young Nat King
How many kids they shot down that had dreams?
If life's a movie this feels like we in the last scenes
I just wanna live and be a young black king
