For all the civil rights for which the world has struggled and fought for 5,000 years the right to learn is undoubtedly the most fundamental Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah Ay, don't look at me different cause the color of my skin Is what you see on the outside, it's not within, it's a sin To judge or hold a grudge against your kin and your friends We just trying to live and make some ends When does it end? They killing on CNN We protesting, do it over again, and we can't win I'm getting tired of it, finna bend around the corner with my friends With weapons breaking them in, yeah And anybody need help, take them in You worry about it, you try to come save an end You ain't gonna do it, you protecting and serving, you gotta prove it Hurry up, skip, skip, let's get it, come on, move it Straight up, cause the clock still ticking The cops still killing, and a lot of real ones feeling Gotta kill it, or we gonna be tripping in any minute But I don't care, you can tell them that we did it, yeah We must provide and protect the life of yours, of mine, the black future We must provide and protect the life of yours, of mine, the black future I paint the sky blue, but still a black boy Comfy in the skin that I'm in, you think we black, boy Breaking stereotypes through sound bites I forgot the crime pipes, that's black like brown types Chocolate boy and proud, my spirit is not destroyed My kind you cannot avoid We still here, and beautiful, like the woman who adopted me An ebony queen who dreams properly Blackest, gladdest night on that midnight train Durag over the dome, sound waves in the brain Mind of Huey with the swagger of Riley Came from the boondocks, raised off of the tribe In Ice Leagues in Venice, the soulless within us I ain't talking Sunday dinner, melanated on the surface and the center Some view us as sinners, but we winners, no pretenders The original vendors of black splendor, remember We must provide and protect the life of yours, of mine, the black future We must provide and protect the life of yours, of mine, the black future Hold fast to dreams, for if they die Life ain't nothing but a broken winged bird And I want to fly past the racist and frown When they see brown faces Smile at them, cause hate can't drive out hatred Love is the weapon that I choose to wield We been fighting juvenile, everyday I hear another gruesome Tell about a black death, for infringing on their privileges Stay limited, or I soar like Mae Jemison Black like licorice, unapologetically, genetically I can't hold back, or let it be Black like the fists on my afro pick Is why my nap so thick, why my cap don't fit Or why when I walk by, cats activate their car locks Blackness, acceptance to the school of hard knocks Cap and gown in the back of the crowd Hear me rapping it loud, that I'm black and I'm proud We must provide and protect the life of yours, of mine, the black future We must provide and protect the life of yours, of mine, the black future
