vanny goodfella - black exploitation lyrics
hook
black expoitation, they profit off the pain
heroes in the shadows, fighting through the rain
from shaft to coffy, we still break the chains
they call it exploitation, but we own the name
verse 1
seventies fl!cks, low budget, but the vision was rich
black faces on the screen, breaking outta the glitch
they showed pimps, hustlers, detectives with the grip
cleopatra jones with the pistol on her hip
urban nights, neon lights, segregation in the frame
they gave us power, but they twisted up the game
critics said it’s toxic, stereotypes in flames
but we saw resilience, we reclaimed the name
pre+chorus
they tried to box us in, but we flipped the script
turned the struggle to a weapon, every lyric equipped
from superfly’s hustle to coffy’s revenge
we still fight corruption, the cycle never ends
hook
black expoitation, they profit off the pain
heroes in the shadows, fighting through the rain
from shaft to coffy, we still break the chains
they call it exploitation, but we own the name
verse 2
fast forward, hip+hop weaponized in the courts
lyrics twisted, used against us in reports
culture turned commodity, politics in play
but the art is resistance, we gon’ speak anyway
blaxploitation birthed the soundtrack of the block
curtis mayfield grooves, marvin gaye with the shock
now trap beats echo what the films once showed
empowerment or profit? that’s the code we decode
bridge
was it freedom or a cage
a spotlight or a stage
they gave us heroes, but they sold us rage
still we rise, still we write the page
final hook
black expoitation, they profit off the pain
heroes in the shadows, fighting through the rain
from shaft to coffy, we still break the chains
they call it exploitation, but we own the name
black expoitation, the culture still survives
from the films to the music, we keep it alive
critics call it twisted, but the truth gon’ thrive
we turn exploitation into power, we rise
