The slaves were mistreated so bad And sometimes They had to just Pour out of their soul The way they were treated They couldn't understand Why they were in this strange land They didn't ask to come here Some people would like to send us back But we didn't come here on our own We were brought here Against our will And now we're here to stay America must work together Suffer together Grow together Because we helped to make this country What it is But then the negro spiritual Speaks out of the soul Of that black man And that black woman I wish I never was born I got questions for you Lord But I'm pretty sure ain't no answer In the universe Make black existence hurt any less Are we cursed are we blessed Why let us be born in a land Where money is God And our lives ain't worth a cent How they cry for windows broken When we protest in distress But they justify the popos When they choking us to death And the preacha promise Everything is working for my best But I fail to see the purpose Of this war upon our flesh We hungry Despite our blood and our sweat Even though we steady hustling Still we deep in this debt Weeping on every evening Ain't no joy in the morning Injuries never healing The battle just keep on warring Couldn't rest if we wanna We drowning in all this trauma Mental health in the sewer Just keep your head above water Just keep your head above water Just breathe my brotha breathe Screamin at my creator Heaven what is your beef You know this Black is beautiful Why you watching us bleed Tell me how come me here When will you set us free Tryin hard to believe But losing faith in you Lord If you ain't breaking these bonds I wish I never was born How do you let them grow up Without making them feel like They're already doomed Just like Thinking about it that It already makes it seem like There's nothing to Um it's weird There's nothing to look forward to It's it's a hard existence Beforehand because people are like You gotta sit your black boys down You gotta have a conversation with them And tell them The world is gonna hate you To some extent you wanna prepare them But to another extent right now I'm like I'd rather really focus on Making sure that they are rock solid In knowing who they are If somebody calls you something And it's not true Should you let it offend you And they're like Well sometimes yeah it hurts And I say It usually only hurts If you believe it If you don't believe it If you really understand Who you are It's not gonna bother you I know who I am It's not so much that I'm like That I believe it But it's exhausting to know No matter how I act No matter how kind I am No matter how good Of a person I am Whatever that means There will be a large amount of people That always see me as a dangerous person And you know what On some days I snap On some days I'm like I'm not doing anything to you You know I am out here just trying to be alive Leave me alone
