Black by Grove Lyrics
[Chorus]
Yeah
Black is the power, black is my skin
Deep are the roots of these cultures within
Black, black
Black
Deep are the roots and tall is the tree
The seed don't fall far and that is we
Black, black
Black
[Verse 1]
They say the blacker the berry, the sweeter the juice
When you see us in the dance, I will get footloose
Ancestors flow through the way that we move
Feeling hella divine, channelling our tune
Switch up the vibe, we talking Angelou
Talking Angela Davis when we're on the move
This is a movement not a moment, like O.B. said
Gotta fight for the living, not just cry for the dead
[Verse 2]
Black to me is culture, prosperity
Black to me is a unique kind of energy
The black in me comes from matriarchs of family (Family, family, family)
See I got it from Pearl and I got it from Christine
Like Lazarus, we out looking sharp, looking pristine, oh
They try to take the [?], but we tear Colston down to make history!
[Chorus]
Black is the power, black is my skin
Deep are the roots of these cultures within
Black, black
Black
Deep are the roots and tall is the tree
The seed don't fall far and that is we
Black, black
Black
[Verse 3: Griz-O]
Black is the power, black is the colour
Black is way more than the word that you utter
It's deeper than me calling you my sister or brother
Black is the movement, let's love one another
See black is the roots coming from my grandmother
Deep and strong, you can't take me for no sucker
Try take my history, but that you can't strip me
Try and violatin' everything, I get grizzly
Ting get mad up, some boy get bad up
See me on street dress code, that's black up
Racist boy have to send for the back up
No long talk mi not enna with no chat up
Righteous step any time we roll out
Hundred percent, now we never hold out
Walk with pride, never in a no doubt
Said we walk with pride, never in a no doubt
Black
[Bridge]
Blackness, that black power
That black
To me we are the most beautiful creatures in the whole world
[Chorus]
Black is the power, black is my skin
Deep are the roots of these cultures within
Black, black
Black
Deep are the roots and tall is the tree
The seed don't fall far and that is we
Black, black
Black
[Outro: Griz-O]
Ting get mad up, some boy get bad up (Black)
Racist boy have to send for the back up
Righteous step any time we roll out (Black)
Walk with pride, never in a no doubt (Black)
Said we walk with pride, never in a no doubt
Black (Black)
Yeah
Black is the power, black is my skin
Deep are the roots of these cultures within
Black, black
Black
Deep are the roots and tall is the tree
The seed don't fall far and that is we
Black, black
