Q2Coo - Dear Black Boyz Anthem Lyrics

Just know that you the
One that was chosen
Even though they tried to teach you
That your options limited
And your success is nearly hopeless
So you got to swim in the deep end
Where the sharks is potent
If you cant swim
Then I really pray you good at floating
Got to learn fast
Aint no mercy coming from these oceans
With every wave
Comes a test to your emotions
You got to
Get over it or make it under it
Aint always calms seas
It might be thundering
See one of your brothers next to you
Struggling will have you wondering
How can you help him
When you yourself are suffering
Now you got to reach land
For both
And come back with boats
But when you make it on the shoreline
You see you got
So much further to go
So much further to go
And the look up on your face is like
You just seen ghosts
On horses with torches
Lower case Ts burning slow
Heart beating fast
Because you aint never heard of Jim Crow
Whoa
But off you go
Now you got to
Lace up your boots
And trek through the dirt and desert
But now the
Hue of your skin
More convenient than ever
The scars on your back are just
Proof to your endeavors
Just keep it going
Even when you think
It will never get better
Front line so theres a target
On your front and your back
Youll take hits but you gone see
You much stronger than that
To take you out man
Its gone take a lot more than just that
If you ask me
Man Im speaking more than just facts
Drowning in sweat
Youll see the dirt turn to street
Face a different type of heat
And hear a different type of beat
Got to be quick on your feet
Or have your face
Pressed against the concrete
Because your descriptions a wide reach
Black male between 5 5 and 6 9
Even with your own kind
You might be forced to pick side
So pick a color any color
They all the same price
Thats a dollar ninety nine and a life
Yikes
But say you was never part of that life
And had some kids with a wife
Big house with a job
Where they was paying you right
You still generational curses to break
And trauma to deal with
Everything your mother taught you
Was taught to her real quick
And her teacher had
Wounds to heal from
But nothing to heal with
Im just saying everybody teaching
Been on their own field trip
Had to work harder
Because you started off
With nothing to build with
But yet you still build buildings
You still raise ceilings
And execute visions
You still break molds
And you still owed trillions
Four hundred years a slave
Not even one sixty free
What was passed down
Aint dilute enough to forget the trees
So its just heart broken people
Teaching heart broken things
Whether its right or its wrong
It get stuck in your brain
Like the plot is to put you in a box
And make it your domain
But you can not
Let them put on that lock
You got to break the chains
Be the change
Its a must
No it aint easy
It takes guts
Gone be times you want to quit
Dont give up
Nah dont give up
Take a breath feel that rush
Hit the clutch
And kick up dust
Make them sneeze
Thats what they need
Experiment like Tuskegee
Ay ay
You got it
Yea yea
You God it
Ay ay
You got this
You got it
You God it
Ay ay
You got it
Yea yea
You got it
Ay ay
You got it
You got it
Thats right you God it
Who got it
Who God it
Who got it
Who God it
Who got it
You got it
You God it
You got it
You God it
You got it
