’zel (rap) – you’re black lyrics
[verse 1: the late]
what if your skin was the proof
there’s some hard things you’ll go through
and the game was made to make sure you lose
would you say it’s true?
[chorus: the late & melladi]
maybe it’s cause you’re black
maybe it’s cause of that?
maybe cause the power in you seems to threaten theirs
maybe it’s cause you’re black
they want you in a trap
they want you living in a world where you feel less
like you’re less than them
like you’re less than anyone
but you’re no less than them
no less than anyone
[verse 2: ‘zel]
every time i leave the house
i feel like i leave with doubt
i can never leave without
momma telling me about
what’s been happening to him
cause they all match my with skin
man that could’ve been my kin
but they put ’em in a bin
either that, or a bid
cause he’s black? he’s a kid
look at the conditions we are in
we get so wrapped up
caught up in the rapture
judging others when we all live in sin
where do i begin?
man the story never ends
i’m discouraged by my own melanin
isn’t that a shame?
look at the progress that we made
yet and still not a d+mn thing changed
but, we’ll overcome
in the end cause that’s all that we’ve ever done
you’re no less than to me or to anyone
black is beautiful you’re never less than anyone
put that on everyone
[chorus: the late & melladi]
maybe it’s cause you’re black
maybe it’s cause of that?
maybe cause the power in you seems to threaten theirs
maybe it’s cause you’re black
they want you in a trap
they want you living in a world where you feel less
that you’re less than them
like you’re less than anyone
(you’re not less than anyone)
but you’re no less than them
(we are, we’re all the same)
no less than anyone
(inside yea yea yea)
[verse 3: theycallemteck]
maybe it’s the way the media always portray the black father
or how we ain’t capitalize on the black dollar
i don’t see thugs in my brothers i see math scholars
trap squaders hit a drought and then come back harder
sometimes you got to look in the mirror and really +n+lyze
the super powers that you’ve been given to maximize
i used to roam dirty halls in the projects
now we travel ‘cross the globe in a fly jet
i need that black love and abundance
seems they only throwing subs and assumptions
but, because of my melanin
chemically i’m strong enough to battle through anything
cops busting through the door with no warning
filling up the crib with bullet holes every corner
blue bloods really ruin the game
justice for breonna taylor
keep saying her name
[chorus: the late & melladi]
maybe it’s cause you’re black
maybe it’s cause of that?
maybe cause the power in you seems to threaten theirs
maybe it’s cause you’re black
they want you in a trap
they want you living in a world where you feel less
that you’re less than them
like you’re less than anyone
(you’re not less than anyone)
but you’re no less than them
(we are, we’re all the same)
no less than anyone
(inside yea yea yea)
