lil' azrael - young black brothers have to survive lyrics

[intro]
(tay keith this to hard)
(mike will made it)

[verse 1]
back in 1811, i was just a kid
eleven years old, tryna live, just a bid
white folks treating us wrong, they thought we were slaves
but we fought back, tryna escape them graves
from the cotton fields to the shackles and chains
we walked the long road, feeling all the pain
couldn’t walk free, couldn’t talk loud
but we still stood strong, standing up proud
i remember the nights, with the cold wind blowin’
my mama crying, but she kept on goin’
a world so dark, where no light would shine
but we held our faith, knowing one day we’d climb
in 1811, thе struggle was real
young black brothers had to fight to hеal
but i made it out, i stayed alive
now i’m 224, just here to survive
fast forward to 2024, i see the change
but the pain still lingers, it’s still in range
i’m still here, black skin full of pride
survivor from the past, with nowhere to hide
i lived through the fire, made it out the flame
saw brothers fall, but i still carry the name
they tried to break us, tried to steal our soul
but we never folded, we stayed in control
now i’m 224, and i’m still here standin’
see my brothers on the rise, got ‘em all demandin’
the world’s still cold, but we keep movin’ on
we’ve been through the worst, now we sing our song
young black brothers, we gotta survive
no matter the cost, we keep hope alive
from 1811 to today’s grind
we keep fightin’, never fall behind
i carry the weight of the past on my back
the stories of those who never came back
but i’m a voice for them, for the ones who were lost
we stand together, no matter the cost
now i’m 224, look at me shine
the legacy’s rich, in my bloodline
young black brothers, we won’t back down
we rise to the top, we just surviving in this world
[chorus]
young black brothers, we gotta survive
through the struggle and pain, we still rise
from the past to the present, we keep pushin’ through
a legacy strong, in everything we do
through the storm and the fight, we stand tall
never break, never fold, we’ve seen it all
from 1811 to 2024, we strive
young black brothers, we stay alive

[verse 2]
i remember the days, when the world was cold
they tried to break us down, but we stayed strong
from slavery’s chains to the battle for rights
we marched through the darkness, kept our sight
in 1811, we were treated less
but we never backed down, we fought the stress
from the pain of the past to the scars we bear
our hearts still strong, and we didn’t despair
we built this nation, brick by brick
even though they tried to make our futures sl!ck
but we rose above, we didn’t bend
now we stand tall, and we won’t pretend
i saw the struggle in the eyes of the old
their stories of pain, their memories pain
but we’re the future, we’re the next to fight
we carry the torch, and we shine so bright
in 2024, i look back at the fight
the brothers before me who stood for what’s right
they bled and they died, but they paved the way
for a young black brother to live today
i still hear the voices from long ago
echoing the strength that helped us grow
the fight’s not over, it’s just begun
we carry the spirit of every black son
we rise for the ones who couldn’t be here
for the fallen soldiers, we shed a tear
but we keep pushin’, keep movin’ ahead
we’ll carry the legacy, it’s never dead
young black brothers, we still strive
in the face of adversity, we come alive
through every trial, through every storm
we stand together, strong and warm
[chorus]
young black brothers, we gotta survive
through the struggle and pain, we still rise
from the past to the present, we keep pushin’ through
a legacy strong, in everything we do
through the storm and the fight, we stand tall
never break, never fold, we’ve seen it all
from 1811 to 2024, we strive
young black brothers, we stay alive

[verse 3]
in the heat of the struggle, i still hear the cries
the voices of our people reaching for the skies
from the days of oppression to the fight for peace
we’ve been through it all, but we never cease
from the fields to the streets, we’ve been scarred
but we made it through the pain, we’ve come so far
i walked in their shoes, felt the weight of their fight
now i’m standin’ strong, keepin’ my future in sight
the world tried to dim us, tried to put out our flame
but we kept burnin’ brighter, playin’ the game
from the cotton fields to the prison cell
our people rose up, we broke that spell
now i stand here, 224 years deep
carrying the dreams of the ones who couldn’t sleep
the ancestors’ prayers still guide my way
their courage is alive in me every day
in 1811, we didn’t have a choice
but we found our power, we raised our voice
from the chains to the chains we broke
we stand here now, never afraid to provoke
every step i take, i feel them near
the spirits of the ones who fought through fear
in the darkest nights, they held on tight
and now i stand here, carryin’ their light
i’m the product of their pain and their dreams
we were born to shine, we were born to lead
for every brother who couldn’t survive
i keep their memory alive, i thrive
i walk through this world with strength in my soul
i keep the fight goin’, i never let go
the struggle ain’t over, but i’m here to stay
we keep pushin’, no matter what they say
young black brothers, we rise from the dust
with every battle fought, in ourselves we trust
from the past to the future, we’ll never retreat
our legacy’s eternal, we can’t be beat
[chorus]
young black brothers, we gotta survive
through the struggle and pain, we still rise
from the past to the present, we keep pushin’ through
a legacy strong, in everything we do
through the storm and the fight, we stand tall
never break, never fold, we’ve seen it all
from 1811 to 2024, we strive
young black brothers, we stay alive
young black brothers, we gotta survive
through the struggle and pain, we still rise
from the past to the present, we keep pushin’ through
a legacy strong, in everything we do
through the storm and the fight, we stand tall
never break, never fold, we’ve seen it all
from 1811 to 2024, we strive
young black brothers, we stay alive
