O say can you---feel that? A rippling of bones beneath water. Oshuns (oceans) of change. Channeled ancestors today, and they said, "Slumber no more. Nor shall you endure silent suffering. We ride this thang called evolution now. But fear not... For, what comes after is beautiful." Hey you! Young black beautiful. Young black beautiful. Put your Hands up against the wall. Hands up against the wall. (x2) I got a new idea. Jump, run & catch the ball Got a brand new dance Keep making kill-a-nigga songs. We got a hit! Got a college degree. Recession. No more jobs. Police Brutality. Awww, don't wanna hear your sob. Invest for what? Hell, you might not see tom'orrrr I secured the bag Now come and give it back at the mall. Is it cuz I'm me? Ahhh, there u go with that card. Rock my chain & peace (piece) So them shackles couldn't'a been that hard. Wait a minute... What you say? Janga lang Janga lang Janga lang negro Shake it til they feel it in their soul wherever we go Janga lang Janga lang Janga lang negro Shake it til they feel it---- (whoop) call them people... Hey you! Young black beautiful. Young black beautiful. Put your Hands up against the wall. Hands up against the wall. (x2) <This Black Applause Melanin tougher than the leather on Fred Hampton Hair look Like wool skin look like bronze Curl Pattern 4c I feel like like God This For the the black that I can’t discard Pent house flows from a black garage Refugee strumming my pain on a black guitar real Talk Leaving my black jaws This A Song for God children Skin tone Coal That world called villains watermelon eaters and the Hennessy Drinkers This the theme song For all My Niggas Sisters you’re beautiful From The Lace Front down to the cuticles From the Shea butter Stains On your pillow cases fuck What They Say You been Amazing surviving hoses riots Rodney king beat downs via night sticks over priced Day Cares underpaid night Shifts still turn coal into diamonds Take our rhythm and the blues that come with it Rules that come with it Bruises accrued from uplifting The people and the signs If You Feel otherwise Then know you out yo cotton > Hey you! Young black beautiful. Young black beautiful. [Adlibs: We so resilient.. young black, young black resilience... we so re-sil-i-ent...] Put your Hands up against the wall. Hands up against the wall. (x2) Ain't we live? Ain't we loud? Ain't we fly? Ain't we proud? (x2) ...and unapologetic.

I might fuck around and sign this rhyme on the line. Engraved or embossed. I embodied the deep reveal hip hop slim goodbody. Jack niggason can’t handle truth don’t seek the good bout it. That’s a thin line I wrote and walked. The blade unearthed left a glowing arch. The nights navy sealed but the flow unlocked. Had the nose wide open. Eyes soaking. The high with no intent to hide just heighten motion. Fish in the waters where the titans soaking. Entire oceans. Went red. The words like applied lotions. 10 gauges disguised as fried okra. The entire plate was full they said to slide a couple sides over. I don’t think I can hold up. My desire to get wired to wake up. Won’t seem to break up. Maybe alive maybe tripping what’s the difference. How can I shift applied physics. What is what isn’t. Dropped in the game with designed limits the subtext not fine printed but worded so that some minds bend it. You can tend a wound but can’t cauterize a grave they yell from high end it. I saved the butter for desert instead of bread sure a big mistake. Could pick it up depends how big the rake. When every valley has its peaks and valleys. And every channel meets connecting lakes. Pump the breaks shift the gears hit the veer cut like cars in rallies. Hoping your next escapes ya best escape
