Lyrics

Translation
Bilingual
All you gotta do, you gotta speak from the heart
Yeah, ayo
Uh, yeah
Black is beauty plus sufferation that I seen from my mum
It's mathematics, black magic, I embody the sun
Call my brother S-U-N 'cause he shine like one
Black is brodie, not a rapper, but he fly like one
Graphic, heavy on the mix, black is every color mixed
Black is stand up for my rights 'cause grandparents had to fight to
Live in a world with no brutality, I'd like to
Black is knowing that these old racists looking down on you
And wishing it was different, wishing that I got my style from you
Black and brown, made culture with
Roots that flow longer than a river now
Come the harsh truths, it's the only way they'll listen now
Switch it, black is all ancient Egyptian scriptures
Carvings in the wall, tryna figure the depiction
For instance, how we make communities and they just made a system
Even when my thoughts overrun
We can overcome, we gon' get through it
See, my people created the blues
Put the pain in the groove and we step to it
Even when my thoughts overrun
We can overcome, we gon' get through it
See, my people created the blues
Put the pain in the groove and we step to it
Black is loving everyone whether they different or not
Black is share with everyone whether they giving or not
Black is show elders love 'cause they keen on respect
'Cause any day I could end up with it, knee on my neck
Like how I show twelve love when they don't show it to my people?
How the world gon' progress if I'm not treated as an equal?
Every generation's stronger, there might be a million sequels
Only five years left, don't act like Busta didn't teach you, dawg
Switch it, catch me out in London like Tipton
Been rapping for a second, they just acting like I slipped and
Been through too much, can't be treated as a victim
Black man is strong, blood protected by a thick skin
Spliff all I need in this life of sin
They love AP like they could spend their life with him
Always mixing up the dark with the light with him
'Cause I can still give you truth without the hype
Even when my thoughts overrun
We can overcome, we gon' get through it
See, my people created the blues
Put the pain in the groove and we step to it
Even when my thoughts overrun
We can overcome, we gon' get through it
See, my people created the blues
Put the pain in the groove and we step to it
Yeah, yeah, 'cause I love my life
Put your hands in the air if you love your life
Left hand in the air if you love your life
Right hand in the air if you love your life
Both hands in the air if you love your life
Both hands in the air if you love your life
Yeah, yeah
Even when my thoughts overrun
We can overcome, we gon' get through it
See, my people created the blues
Put the pain in the groove and we step to it
Even when my thoughts overrun
We can overcome, we gon' get through it
See, my people created the blues
Put the pain in the groove and we step to it
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Woah, woah, woah, woah
