Dont look at me different cause the color of my skin
(straight up)
Cause what you see on the outside is not within
it’s a sin, to judge and hold a grudge against your kin
And your friends, we trying to make some ends
When does it end, they killing on CNN
We protest and do it over again
And we can’t win
I’m getting tired of it, finna bend
around the corner with my friends
With weapons breaking em in yeah
And anybody need help, take em in
You worried bout it, you try to come save em then
You aint gon do it, you protecting and serving you gotta prove it
Hurry up skip skip lets get it, come on, move it
Straight up cause the clock still ticking
The cops still killing and a lot of real ones feel it
Gotta kill it, or we gone be trippin at any minute
Without a care you can tell em that we did it
Yeah
Chorus
We must, provide
And protect, the life
Of yours, and mine
The black, future
2x
SkyBlew
I Paint The Sky,Blew!!! But still a black boy
comfy in the skin that I'm in, you think we lack joy?
NOPE!
Breaking stereotypes through soundbites
Africa to Crown Heights
there's black, light, brown types
Chocolate boy & proud, my spirit is not destroyed
my kind you can not avoid!
We still here
and beautiful like the woman who adopted me
an Ebony Queen, who Dreams properly
Black as Gladys Knight on that midnight train
du-rag over the dome, soundwaves in the brain
Mind of Huey with the swagger of a Riley
came from the boondocks, raised off the Tribe & Isleys
Inventors, the soul is within us
I ain't talking sunday dinner
melanated on the surface & the center
Some view us as sinners, but we're winners
no pretenders, the original vendors of black splendor
remember?
CHORUS
We must, provide
And protect, the life
Of yours, and mine
The black, future
2x
Mega Ran
Hold fast to dreams, for if they Die
Life ain’t nothing but a broken winged bird
And I wanna fly
Past the racists who frown when they see brown faces
Smile at em, cause hate can’t drive out hatred
Love is the weapon, that I choose to wield
We been fighting tooth and nail, every day I hear another gruesome tale
About a black death, for infringing on they privileges
Stay limited, or I soar like Mae Jamison
Black like licorice, Unapologetically
Genetically, I can’t hold back or let it be
Black like the fist on my Afro pick
It’s why my naps so thick, why my cap don’t fit
Or Why when I walk by cats activate they car locks,
Blackness is acceptance to the School of Hard Knocks
cap and gown In the back of the crowd
Hear me rappin it loud, that Im black and I’m proud
Come on
CHORUS
We must, provide
And protect, the life
Of yours, and mine
The black, future
2x

CHORUS - Mega Ran
Hate to brag but I’m him
All I do is win,
And I do it all with a million dollar grin
Let me tell you I’m him
Got em jumping out the gym
360 double pump arm in the rim
Best believe it I’m him
Took it on the chin
I probably did it first
And I might do it again
That’s because I’m him
No need to pretend
Cause I’m oh so comfy in this thick skin
Now know know that I’m him
GameboyJones - Denji [Chainsaw Man]
Want the power
So i went blood no crip sh*t
Hooked up with the gang
Now we’re the fiend club no misfits
Fighting all my life
So i can go rounds like big t*ts
Kobeni with the shot
Watch the clip like you missed twitch
(clip that)
B*tches barking but know that the dog is in me
You envy
I went from rags to the riches
Use to be dingy
But now
F*cking with the clique will make these blades gnaw
What goes around comes around
Like a chainsaw
Callon B - Shigeo [Mob Psycho]
Hive mind telepathy lime light ahead of me
I write the melody My life a spelling bee
Type to go zealot like psycho helmet
Granted I’m hell bent presence I felt it
the veil lift im coolin, divine tree grew it
Mob he intuit god body improvements
I’m him, I should be esper of the year
But when I hit 100 it’s the end used to be a kind kid
FreeSoul - Bakugo (My Hero Academia)
My, drip is nitroglycerin
My “name” and “best” are synonyms
Got an armory on every limb
You don’t want me to pull the pin
Metal on me, “arms are heavy”
Ammo ready, “palms are sweaty”
Blow up out the underground like bouncy Betty’s
Got the “stick”, it’s with the “drum”, it “clap” em up with no “applause”
Bet I’m “dynamight” you see a “great explosion murder, god”
Y’all are “bots” I rage against machines with pockets full of shells
If these villains ever get me ima wait for em in hell
Delta Deez - Loid Forger (Spy x Family)
Had to make sure that my suit look right
Before I came to work to take y’all life
They call me Twilight cause if you see me issa guaranteed goodnight
I know they jealous cause my wifey lookin real good right
Look it’s, ice in my veins For bread life gets exchanged
The greatest off all time And it seem unlikely to change
A war baby spent so much time fighting through pain
Became the top shooter with how precisely I aim
Blvk Diamonds - Luffy (One Piece)
Bounced up off of a groupie
Strawhat on like like a Kufi
None of ya strongest move me
It’s Mugiwara no Luffy
Critics gon misconstrue me
Amazon’s wanna do me
I’m sticking to what I love
I’m stationed where all the troops be
Came in black arms hard as diamonds swinging
Imma conquer anybody & they momma wit em
You beckon me wit a seat on anyone’s center stage
Wit 10 of my strongest with me , who putting me in a cage ?
Chrissa SJE - Ichigo (Bleach)
I don't really need an introduction
Bankai off the hip quick to end discussion
Go against gang, put him in a Russian
When it comes to my squad I go All or Nothing
Big zanpakuto, I make the opps swallow
Thugged out, mask out cuz my heart hollow
Im him, that was then, this is now
Used to be; thought he was him, now he just Grimmjow
Mega Ran - Gon (Hunter x Hunter)
(I’m him) g-o-n
My hunt will see no end
It’s in blood, risk life and limb
From mics to pens, I’m nice with Nen
And I swear If I ever slowed down
I think my life would end
I don’t need a hand
Trust Don’t come at me man
You coming in last, passed
Like a Hunter exam
You kinda sorta rhyme
Livin on the borderline
You don’t want a war wit Gon
Ima be immortalized
cause I’m him
All I do is win,
And I do it all with a million dollar grin
Let me tell you I’m him
Got em jumping out the gym
360 double pump arm in the rim
Best believe it I’m him
Took it on the chin
I probably did it first
And I might do it again
That’s because I’m him
No need to pretend
Cause I’m oh so comfy in this thick skin
Now know know that I’m him

We shall, overcome yeah
We shall… overcome
We shall, overcome yeah
We shall… overcome
If these feet could tell you what they’ve seen
Pain you’ve only seen in your daydreams
hurt you’ve only felt from 10 mile hikes
Strain from sprinting for my life
Cuz ain’t this much marching In the world
Marches ain’t save those four little girls
Martin walked so that Barack could fly
But Martin got plucked right out the sky
I prayed and begged asked my father why
While tears grew legs and they ran down my eyes
Like Tommie Smith and John Carlos
We stand on the shoulders of all those
Soldiers from AZ to chicago
Yall know we done begged stole and borrowed
Waiting for representatives to reps us
Or for respect from those who dont respect us
Guess what
We shall, overcome yeah
We shall… overcome
We shall, overcome yeah
We shall… overcome
Non violent protests - so over them
Feet so swollen how I’m sposed to run
Wondering when will my moment come
I was told that I’m the chosen one
Chosen to be poor and have less?
Chosen to be denied the access?
Chosen for migraines from mad stress?
Well I choose joy, and how could you have guessed
That a man on a mission like Mabel and Oscar
Chose love as the weapon for slaying a monster
Through the hardships you can pray that we prosper..
Or we can tap in, make something happen
good trouble, word to John Lewis
We don’t start problems, we respond to it
So I pray we might, Soar to greater heights
And we can if stay the fight
We shall
We shall, overcome yeah
We shall… overcome
We shall, overcome yeah
We shall… overcome
Heavenly Father
I approach Your space,
Weighed down but I know that I can hold those weights
When I pray, I state
Every one of my struggle and You follow with strength
Even in this dark tunnel, I can find an escape
There are times when I may not even know what to say
I trust that You’ll guide me and show me the way
Because I know that my enemy is hoping I break
But they don’t know my faith
My Savior had skin like bronze and a heart full of gold
And He gave it all, so I could shine bright like platinum
And it’s not about me, I’m just made in His image
So I take it all, and I just shine it right back at Him
That’s my Heavenly Father, and my Dad would be proud
I found joy, love and freedom like Mrs. Tabitha Brown
I give hope to the ones who had it stolen away
It once was lost, but lyrically I put it to sound
And we shall

I was my momma's one and only
With none after or before me
So I came up hella lonely
Till the day my uncle told me
Wait till you go down south and see your cousins and he wasn't bluffing,
Seeing twenty other kids my age man that was something
To behold, we were bold running up them dirt roads
Got in trouble even stole nobody ever told
East coast, what they called me, thought them southern cats was slow,
With the music with the clothes, I would keep em in the know
Rocked a Raiders starter, made a part of every gang in town
Aye East Coast come play them sounds
They'd beg me to hang around
Playing dozens, drunken uncles fist fighting over nothing
Got the neighborhood buzzing
I missing bugging with my cousins
yeah
We ain't gotta be blood
If we relate then we related and it's because
Can't nothing ever separate us, to the day I'm in the grave
I call you cousin and they ain't gotta believe us
Yeah
We ain't gotta be blood
If we relate then we related and it's because
Can't nothing ever separate us, to the day I'm in the grave
I call you cousin if you been a true believer
I got a cuz who was blood
Cuz who was cuz
We all blood cuz we come from the same loved ones
Although most of us was cuz
In the hood where we from
Most of Em was hood
And that’s why we call Em cuz
We fight and never run
And fighting turned to guns
Eastside designed my mind when the writing first begun
My cousins love the vibe and they’ll on sight u if it’s one
I ain’t never told a lie my people dying over crumbs
Remember me when I was young
On Selena I was sprung
Hit the scene and I went dumb
Da Hennessy my cousins chug
Best believe I had a dream
That I leave They could come
My friends Considered blood
They family in my book
Off the porches to the club
They support me where I’m from
We Been through a grip show all my people love
BA, Phromis, CT
And Junie up above
Ten toes we kinfolk
And I put that on my son what’s up
We ain't gotta be blood
If we relate then we related and it's because
Can't nothing ever separate us, to the day I'm in the grave
I call you cousin and they ain't gotta believe us
We ain't gotta be blood
If we relate then we related and it's because
Can't nothing ever separate us, to the day I'm in the grave
I call you cousin if you been a true believer
It's nothing, I'm from the east but still got country cousins
It's nothing, we from the west but still got cousins hustling
Down by the border, hanging on the Corner
That's right These my cousins
Trap god or Track star that's right these my cousins
