Lyrics
You see uh, I know who I am and I am happy with whom I am Your perception of me doesn’t change who I am I am my own light the shade of my complexion seen darker days I am beautiful black with my black bride black love still alive Take consensus can’t hide behind these white picket fences I am a king but no need to crown me king because the crown of thorns already been worn, I am Torn between Now then back then uh you see we tryna make it But it's harder to get up and take it when people constantly fake it Black people in back churches with white pictures of a white Jesus on they fans While somebody grand momma talking bout let him use you pastor Church usher like spit that candy out while your mammy shout I mean I've been conditioned so much that my conditionings been conditioned Living in these conditions that's gang violence Over property that we don't even own I'm like Listen homie you can have these roaches in these projects Cuz I'm working on other projects like how my Amazon stock's doing at over $900 a share See it's not even fair how you can't even tell me how the stock market doing But yet you know what happened last night on the BET awards of the latest Jordan shoe and You see its a difference between having money and having wealth It's a difference between what you parents taught ya And what life expectations taught ya for your self I could tell you that I bought my first house and that it doubled in value Half dead, half alive with just enough strength to become conquerors of our own inner domains The uneducated, unsophisticated, well mannered slaves Yet the inventors of many things helped shaped the world today Dipped in gold, blood diamonds worn cold, yet stripped of our worldly possession, our dignity denied But not our soul because that never belong to man Always had to be protector and provider because for us it was never a choice, women depended on it, our children depended on it Our own life depended on it, future generations depended on it, black man, black man Freedom, freedom, freedom that’s what we need black man Despite our protests for equality, life and liberty and pursuit of happiness Seems like mankind meant separation of its own kind But none the less, we are the brave hearted, kings to a kingdom with no bigotry standards Torn between Now then back then uh you see we tryna make it But it's harder to get up and take it when people constantly fake it Black people in back churches with white pictures of a white Jesus on they fans Difference between what you parents taught ya And what life expectations taught ya for your self I could tell you that I bought my first house and that it doubled in value And then I bought my second house amongst other things and what have you
