I was once taught
That beauty is in
The eye of the beholder
And beauty is pain
Or at least that's what y'all show us
Used to
Barring the weight
Society's placed on our shoulders
But we still kings in our eyes
Now we
Forced to hold our pride aside
Forced to live in genocide
Forced to go thru something
Most times
That we don't really like
Befriending oppositions
Just to be in better positions
How the hell we living
We don't get
Can we pay attention
Mask on mask off
Tell me can I breathe
I just need ten feet
Wont you give me
Something
Yea it's just me and you
Man in the mirror
Tryna say I see a king in you
You can't run from your fate
Got royalty in yo blood
Can you feel it in yo veins
It pours out
As I put that pen on the page
As a king I write my first order
Be a reflection of change
Demanding myself
Put myself to a higher standard
Cuz I know that I can
And I know that I am
All that I am
I did all that I can
Me and my people
Tryna get it you bitch
Tryna get fourth acres and a mule
Give me my money
How long you gone try
And play us like fools
That's not funny
Tryna make new laws
To make me rules
That's not for me
What you thinking
That we didn't see it
What you thinking
That we wasn't going to
Pay attention
To all of the things
You was trying to do
Black man
Black man
He got anger issues
Does it make it okay
To shoot point blank
With your tools
PRESIDENT, DOCTOR
OR ,LAWYER
That might have been the next one
But since he was black
And running around in the suburbs
He's a threat huh
15 years old
Gunned down blood cold
No remorse on the killers face
As the story was told
Black kings in America
They tryna embarrass us
They embellish us
They tryna kill our history
They don't really want us to know
That we can break these shackles
That we can break these chains, Generational curses
They can all break
The DONT realize
If we come together
They want us to know it
That we can storm
They weathers
IQ rising day by day
We might bend
But we won't f*cking break
Kings
Kings
