Black Empowerment

When they come for you, I will shield your name

I will field their questions, I will feel your pain

No one can judge

They don't, they don't know

They don't know

It's crazy that it's 2017 and we're still called "Niggers"

We are also called savages but we weren't the ones who pulled the trigger and dragged out ancestors on a boat filled with death, rape, and liquor to a country that wouldn't have survived if we haven't gotten there quicker

But you know what.. we always gone be labeled

We ain't worth shit to other people

I mean just a few hundred years ago we were three-fifths less of a man and when we finally became whole, segregation was the plan

And when that didn't work, drugs invaded the land

And when the drugs couldn't kill us, they put guns in people's hands

They'd do anything to keep us quiet or have us looking like a fool

Cause not so long ago, they thought we were bafoons

And not to long before that, they thought we were some tools

But way before that, we were treated like jewels

See our problem is that we don't look back into our African roots and see that we are royalty, there is a god inside of every one you

And since we are all gods we are all due for a blessing

I know life is hard now but that's enough of the stressing

Cause life can take unexpected turns and that dark bridge that you're on will soon be burned
