ellae x. - black lyrics

(verse)

they striped us down to a bare essence
from kings & queens
teaching us lessons on how we are lesser
welcome to america, the black man’s blessing!
oh, they were crafty in how they finessed it
the ways of today i must say rubbed me the wrong way
so i get abrasive
til they amazed on how i lay pavement that paves the way for change; not like a mason
taking those in the dark and showing them the light
guess i, illum-the naughty
not hardly, far too godly
god guard me from the ungodly
that line to be cited by my favorite rapper
i get excited whenever i recite it
it ignited the fight within me
a constant battle everyday
but i’m not going down less i’m going down swing
n-gg-
aww he said n-gg-
d-mn right i said n-gg-
cuz as long as yu act ignant that’s the only thing i see fittin
check the definition
there ain’t never a reason to k!ll innocent
pullin triggers on unarmed victims
the way i’m feelin
i’m wishin a cop wud clap at
imma clap back
round of applause cuz things go full circle
yu crazy to think that energy shudnt be reciprocated
if yu approached and feel threatened within good distance. shoot to k!ll. if they dead how can the be a witness
words uttered from a cops lips
as i sat in that cl-ssroom who knew i was listening to bad religion
martin malcolm and others didn’t die for this
what makes even more p-ssed
our race tends to erase ever face of leadership
why are yu idolizin rappers who don’t give a sh-t?!
brain gotta be sprained wit that twisted thinking
fist in the air not a fist pump but send yo black beautiful pride up
i’m breaking silence im tired of being hushed
i’m sorry to our forefathers if we have yall turning in yall grave
oppressed often n-gg-s with an att-tude don’t know how to behave
by all means i’m not trynna start a riot
i’m trynna open the eye they deny vision
i have a vision
we were kings. queens. we are beautiful beings
from fat -sses to hair that’s nappy
in god we trust i trust he made no mistakes
i mean this with every breath i take i will be great and if i die trynna lead the way?!
let the blood i leak ink permanently every street
so vibrant
every soul sees what i stood fo
f-ck them jays f-ck them chains why ain’t we tired of chains
the gold the blang four finger rangs
f-ck wondering what rapper g-y
or how much they get paid
the likes on the gram
look around you!
used to have to worry about being black while driving
no just have to be black actually
why do we have the most people locked up
we are americas main shoppers
on items that won’t last us
i ain’t mad if yu hearing me yet buyin
new weave
or got another page open coppin sneaks
we gotta do more than protest we gotta do less than k!ll
we have to build. lean on each other. support one another stop holding each other under!
please look around you!
you see we not okay how we need change !
lately i been doing a lot of reading
can’t lie tho, my soul, it was reaching
murderous thoughts, seeing cops murder innocent people
my people
my philosophy is all we need is a better leader
these rappers are poor teachers; far better actors
when you realize all this trapping rappin’s
just to trap ya
not to throw iodized sodium
when i say i idolize no man on a podium
quoting nothing but life’s opium
then parlez-vous to youth about what you shouldn’t do
shouldn’t you?
change lyrics since that’s what you used to
but no longer used to, better said accustom to?
all that flipping bricks got me this house
whipping the crack push the maybach
break it down make it all back
see how i made that sound?
without being around not one ounce or one pound
preach black man, preach
