|

|
they built abortion clinics by your house to take you from us |
|
beautiful black fathers, i know your back against the wall, you goin hard but dont you let these people take you from us |
|

|
who gon supply for our sons? who gon supply for our daughters? |
|

|
we cant leave our kids with these people decidin the order |
|
last time i checked nigga, we was decidin the culture |
|
last time i checked nigga, thats what decided the order |
|
last time i checked nigga, we was controllin the trend |
|
same one that got white kids tik-tokin and [?] again |
|
people been stealin from us in blind sight |
|
white people payin black blogs to damage us and self-damage us on all hindsights |
|
shaderoom, yall aint hidin, twenty million followers |
|
so black folk, you gotta be more positive |
|
even though youre investors are white guys named bryce robinson |
|
is it worth explorin the black culture for the [?] measly a hunnid thousand dollars? |
|
look angelica, it aint worth it |
|

|
and we love you for that active drive and purpose |
|
but its time you take that hunnid thou reverse it |
|

|

|
[verse 2] |
|
i was never good at school but smart enough to see the signs |
|
behind the fuckery and lies of the system and how they try |
|
the grand plan is to separate us, tear us down, conquer divide |
|
the main was to have a black man silenced |
|
and though of course we used our voice to override it |
|
they influenced us by usin niggas our color to talk bout drugs and violence inside em |
|
they made black women talk more sex and less what they mind is |
|
80s all the the 90s, like who the fuck is behind this? |
|
you awake to remind us, i equate to remind you |
|
business they told you mind you, listenin you aint find your |
|
self inside of this war, the devil dive in your door |
|
my black, skinny, christian, know the devil pry at your more |
|
my beautiful black daughters, the one who lash out in class |
|
out of anger, that anger due to the fact they had no fuckin fathers |
|
or the ones they had would touch their daughters |
|
we never knew cause they was quiet in school |
|
no one supports so many affection only came from fuck niggas that love in portions |
|
or some older [?] that never made love, to fuck they forced it |
|
but its the way that love was taught to you, shawty |
|
nobody taught it, you gotta know that aint your fault |
|
you tryna tear your mind comparin yourself to someone whos brought up in family genes |
|
that means mother, father is present on family tree |
|
that mean you dont take all the blame cause they wasnt there |
|
that just means you a black queen, whos life wasnt fair |
|
but god gives unfair to the favorites |
|
non heirs to the hatred |
|
tests that bring you faith when its unclear what the fate is |
|
people talk about your untamed haird, hey its my favorite |
|
dark skin and light skin, love you for what your shade is, its black |
|
unapologetic and afrocentric |
|
with enough curve and ass, for me to not have to mention all of my apprehention |
|
with natural hair, youre fierce, they told you had to have extentions |
|
that was cappin past the fiction |
|
shawty you a whole ninth and a championship, when you [?] that shit up past the fences |
|
you know im past attentive, lets make some last decisions |
|
[pre-chorus] |
|
my black child im sayin this cause i love you but love aint come with the lessons |
|
thats gon leave life all above you |
|
the police gon hate up on you, the governments never for you |
|
but you can rise all above it, as long as you keep your lovin |
|
i say this just cause i care |
|
|
|
[chorus] |
|
and i care for you, for you |
|
and im there for you, im there for you |
|
and i care for you, for you |
|
and im there for you, im there for you |
