Black child, Black child
I just want you to know
You're more than great, but you're going to see some hate based on your race
Keep your love ones close and stay embedded in your faith
Black child, Black child
I just want you to know
You're going to see an image of yourself that's in the news
But you're more than what they portray don't get it confused
Black child, Black child
I just want you to know
We've overcome a lot and that was due to sacrifice
But we're far from finished from this everlasting fight
Black child, Black child
I just want you to know
It's going to be some things about you they don't understand
But due to their reality, it's know way that they can
It's hard to function when it feel like they're not serving justice
Deliberately mistreating others in front of the public
We see the footage and it's honestly f*cking disgusting
This systematic corruption makes you sick to your stomach
Being Black in America, can be hard to breathe
Especially when you're being suffocated with a knee
They're finding ways of lynching without the rope and tree
When they kill one of my people, they kill part of me
Black child, Black child
I just want you to know
You're more than great, but you're going to see some hate based on your race
Keep your love ones close and stay embedded in your faith
Black child, Black child
I just want you to know
You're going to see an image of yourself that's in the news
But you're more than what they portray don't get it confused
Black child, Black child
I just want you to know
We've overcome a lot and that was due to sacrifice
But we're far from finished from this everlasting fight
Black child, Black child
I just want you to know
It's going to be some things about you they don't understand
But due to their reality, it's know way that they can
Never live in fear, but we gotta be vigilant
Systemic racism is something that's quite evident
How the f*ck are we getting threats from the President?
It's imperative we look into these candidates
That's claiming they're fighting for the people they represent
The Black communities are dealing with a lot of shit
Of course it's going to be crimes and violence in poverty
That's the conclusion of having less opportunity

Royalty and super strength is running in our veins
And the most powerful tool is a vigorous brain
Intimidation lead to behavior that's inhumane
But we will prevail and prosper even through the pain
You're either with us or against us, when it comes to change
If you're not riding, I advise you to get out the lane
It's 'bout that time for us to strategize and unify
If they told you, you weren't worthy than they told a lie
