Ashley LaShae - Keeping It Real Lyrics

I'mma keep it real
So keep it real
I.I.I.D please
So keep it real

So keep it keepin' it real
I'mma keep it real
I'mma keep it real
That's all I wanna do

They aimin' for the kill
That's all they wanna do
I'mma keep it real
I do it for my race

Hatin' is the skill
They do it with no shame
Even when you tryin' to do right
All they see is us and it's a crime

They don't give a damn about our rights
They just wanna see us all cryin
So why the hateful treatment
Why the f*ckin' nuisance

The color may be different
But we are just human
They don't show us love
They just stick to hate

When you see the cops
They intimidate
Yeah, they use the job
To help a single race

But if your skin is dark
All they do is give you pain
Being black is not a threat
Your skin can lead you straight to death

I'mma keep it real
So keep it real
So keepin' it real
So keepin' it, keepin' it

So keepin' it real
So keep it, keepin' it real
Yeah
We been fightin' for our rights for lots of ages

But you prefer to put us in cuffs and cages
We ain't never gonna sit and take shit
Cause we know that we are strong enough to fight this
Black is beautiful

Black will never cry
Yeah, we are powerful
For that, we are super proud
No matter how you treat us

We'll never be ashamed
We know how you see us
You look at us, we're ranged
You don't give a f*ck

Do you still remember George
Or maybe Colin Fleur
Bad people have had enough
Breonna Taylor, who was f*ckin' shy

We don't want no more brutality
Must die
One look at us and they think we're guilty
So they wanna see us all rot in prison

Yeah, take this from me
Jail is not a place that you wanna be
At all
I'mma keep it real

So keepin' it real
So keepin' it, keepin' it
So keepin' it real
Keepin, keepin' it real

Come on, come on, keep it real
Come on, come on, keep it real
Black on black
Black, black on black

Black, black
Black, black on black
Black, black
Black on black on black

Black, black
Black on black on black
Yeah, yeah
