There's no way to define
Being Black
Being Nigga
Being Negro
We exist on a spectrum
Look to me as your hero
I used to be ashamed of my Blackness
Figure I could just practice
Being any and everything
It threw me off of my axis
We got this weight of lifting curses
Put my pain in my verses
Cause when I bottled that shit
Almost drove away in a hurst
I don't know what's worst
Me living
Or trying to lift the curse
Trying to find what works
To accelerate to the worth
You know that wealthy shit
When I see reflections of me
And I kinda like what I see
Unbridled from stereotype
I'm very unlike
And that's alright to admit
It's very hype
To understand diaspora is f*cking legit
The purple rain
It hides
All the pain inside
It's nourishing
You're very alive
You gotta strive
To find the time
To keep the vibe
And be aligned
Cuz when it's time
To step into the very light
You wish to shine
Making hits
And passing wisdoms through my rhymes

Black is free
Black is beautiful
Black is everything that you see
Black is crucial though
Black is you
Black is me
Black all around us
Black like sky
Black like tree
Like infinite stars we see

Black is free
Black is beautiful
Black is everything that you see
Black is crucial though
Black is you
Black is me
Black all around us
Black like

Cause I'm pro Black
Don't mean I'm anti-else
How else
Do you think
I learned empathy
And put my pride on the shelf
I always help
But those that look like me
Get preference dealt
Cause when a village was needed
They succeeded
And all that love was spelt
I give back to the earth
Where my people make their presence felt
If nothing else
Those trees you hung us from
Provide some great relief
Hot summers knelt
Whipping away our cultural identity
So excuse me
If turn up
With the blackest of intensity
I don't really give a f*ck you think
My life matter
I'm here
You can deal with the fact
That my are pockets are fatter
Turning thoughts into matter
Fueling the soul's reactor
Popping out in the jaloppy
Grab some soul food and laughter
What am I after
Less persecution
More action
I'm tired of actors
Putting on black face
But when it matters
Putting black profile pics up
Like that represents the masses
Enjoying all our fruits
But avoiding the all the whip cracking
What's happening

Black is free
Black is beautiful
Black is everything that you see
Black is crucial though
Black is you
Black is me
Black all around us
Black like sky
Black like tree
Like infinite stars we see

Black is free
Black is beautiful
Black is everything that you see
Black is crucial though
Black is you
Black is me
Black all around us
Black like sky
Black like tree
Like infinite stars we see
