edvanzd - king's speech lyrics

black is the beginning
black is beautiful, carbon, melanated me
i am a queen, a god, a mother
i am the mother of civilization
without me, there is no you, you or you
so it would behoove you to remember that
next time you begin to speak recklessly of me
my dear, never disrespect your mother

i was born in this world as a g+nius
i’m a king i don’t need your opinions
from the melanin over my skeleton
all the way down to my mind
i’m ingenuous, strenuous
sit on the throne and see villages
dеgraded, invaded by pillagers
thеy’re raping the culture
escaping as vultures
and then they come back ’cause they’re villainous
k!lling us, filling us… up with that hot sh+t
leaving us stuck with no options
we’re feeling like we can’t accomplish nothing
so we start to k!lling each other
these are my brothers
where you see n+ggas at
none of ’em live in this habitat
got sistas who had an epiphany
so then essentially, b+tches ain’t coming back
don’t call ’em that
cause then you’ve got problems
when me and my squad pull then i promise
that we ’bout that drama
put that on my momma
we might be conscious
but the mother of my kids
and the ones who birth civilization
is why this is most important
repeat when i speak and quote it
i see brothas
not n+ggas
i see sistas
no b+tches
stand in alignment
strengthen the digits
put ’em together then we’re all gonna get richer
i know, i know i’m a king
i am somebody
i know, i know i’m a queen
i am somebody
i know, i know i’m a king
i am somebody
i know, i know i’m a queen
i am somebody
it’s true

now if you know like i know
you’d get yo ass up off that flo
get your head up out that bed
and get your back up off that sofa
cause they still are fulfilling the books of the prophets
and k!lling off our kids
then dig in their conscience
and fill it with nonsense
reneging on the forty acres and a mule that they promised us
disguising lies as trust
crimes as justice
i get fl+stered
while discussing how they cuff us
pile and thrust us
into the briar
til it turns into a fire
and it burns in our desire
then an urgency’s required
when emergency’s acquired
in emerging seas of quiet
leaves us dying
we’re ignited when we fight it real polite
still it’s riots when they write it through their wire
on your local news at night
they’re some liars
i say be who you are
stand as a king
keep your head up
cause you’re a queen
we’re made in the image of the omnipotent
now repeat after me
i know, i know i’m a king
i am somebody
i know, i know i’m a queen
i am somebody
i know, i know i’m a king
i am somebody
i know, i know i’m a queen
i am somebody
it’s true

son, right now you’re a prince
but one day you’ll be a king
and for you princess
you’ll be a queen
you know that
we are royalty
