Uh

Black progress
Down pressed for too long
Black progress
Now let's stand up strong
Black progress
Won't give up the fight
Black progress
For equal rights
Black progress
Love is what we need
Black progress
For humanity, uh
If you feel me, black liberty stand up

Ay, I gotta get it, gots gots to get it
I heard white privilege got cops acquitted
As if somehow violent shots not deliberate
Second class citizenships not the business
The loss of a history, a language of religion
Didn't cause our story to glory God intended
We went from Juneteenth to the 13th amendment
Fighting to get free when the world seems against us
My mother's skin color was Lupita Nyong'o's
Black like, where people tend to see see when they eyes close
My thoughts like a river running free in the Congo
Or James Bond and Nicky G in a convo
We in a stronghold, building of France phenom
Tryna take an acre or solid ground to stand on
They hate a liberated mind like Kofi Annan
But fear don't pump through this heart I put my hand on
We can't be compelled like trivial objects
That'll have us deviate from the plan that God crest
Let's stand arm-in-arm with the man who's heart's next
That's power to the people of land, time to invest

Black progress
Down pressed for too long
Black progress
Now let's stand up strong
Black progress
Won't give up the fight
Black progress
For equal rights
Black progress
Love is what we need
Black progress
For humanity, hey!
If you feel me, black liberty stand up yeah

Yo, it's that black progress
The black constitution, I made it in effect
The words start and we don't know the rest
King Selassie I obeyed the right before concept
Bring the black world under middle earth
Invest in our own it's not good and y'all guessed
Without you all I want interest
Build our self a civilization, run a risk contest
Better than dem ever seen it 'cause the most high bless
Socially and economically we get strong
Pray for black people come up with the righteous plan
All the hatred cancelled and the war get bun
Work together, build a nation on the riches one
'Cause it said the blacks are now at form the Congress
Bet you caught between the east and west
Rastaman inna Jamaica it a different quest
Big up to Shashamane and Koffee black empress

Black progress
Down pressed for too long
Black progress
Now let's stand up strong
Black progress
Won't give up the fight
Black progress
For equal rights
Black progress
Love is what we need
Black progress
For humanity, uh
If you feel me, black liberty stand up yeah
