Black Music

(album: Vivid Canvas - 2020)

Thank you brothers and sisters, we have something here we want to present to you. We're interested in Black music, what it means, music that is Black oriented and so forth. Actually that's a kind of a catchphrase because we have a tendency to believe that it's all the same thing, but it's not really all the same thing. It's kind of out of the same thing.

The music is appropriation, how they gentrify it
Take the ignorance and blow it up, that's how you multiply it
For the simple fact the masses support it, love it and buy it
Irregardless of the bias I see in side of the science
They selling stereotypes to the ones they keeping compliant
Battle fighting these giants, hypocrisy at it's finest
Even if the tires flat and the wheels falling, I'm riding
Tryna make my own way not capsize like the Poseidon
Got fentanyl in my diet, this poison I've been supplying
Got enough rage to start a riot, this molotov I'ma light it
Living my life like I'm enlightened
Not chasing spirits, I'm talking to God, I hear it
Never fear the mortal man 'cause we all bleed
My blood thick, a descendant of Kings, a relative to the Gods
Coming for everything they've taken, what they've stolen is ours
Resiliency runs through my veins, it's in my lineage bruh
To televise my peoples pain is entertainment for some

An appropriate conversation, I take it back to the roots
The appropriate compensation, I plant the seeds for the fruit
To live in the land of the free but it's free of justice and truth
Apples and oranges, it ain't worth the squeeze trying to get the juice
Equality for all, nah think I'ma need to see the proof
I'm stepping off the beaten path, I refuse to be left aloof
When everything's the same it's just a different season for the noose
And to deny it is compliance, we see the problem is you
I'm running a marathon, exhausted
Come walk a mile in my shoes to jog your memory
Protecting my energy but now selectively
Respectfully declining this rainbow coalition until there's more attrition or at least some recognition
Trying to find my only mission, turning the key in my ignition
Given to me and my legacy, the relevancy to see what it is and refuse to believe
They wanted a piece of the pie, to own the thoughts in my mind
My intellectual property, my God
