Pharaoh by Kaviar (@OfficialKaviar) Lyrics
Black boys to black, to black Kings
Stand up
It’s time to fix your crown, no heads down
Chin up
Black girls to black, to black Queens
Stand up
It’s time to take back what’s ours at all cost
Rise up
See, the milk is sour
They losing power
Uh huh
Couldn’t be us, so they tried to take what’s ours
Uh huh
The melanin they knew was better than
Uh huh
That’s why they keep tryna darken their skin
Uh huh
Knocking white hoods off
Oh they mad, can’t kill us off
With out these guns
These pigs is hella soft
They called us niggers, but the niggas be the winners
Royalty run thru our veins
We were never meant to be slaves
We some Pharoahs
Pharaohs
Pharoahs
Pharoahs
We some Pharoahs
Pharoahs
Pharoahs
Pharoahs
I love the black skin I am wrapped in
Chin up as I walk
Like rockin high fashion
Even better draped in royal silks, cottons and satins
Remember the time when we
Were royalty
And we gave birth to the world
As a people too powerful
That must be destroyed
Culture so rich
They envy, they rob and exploit
Everything we touch is money
So they want they want us employed
Say what you want
It’s all facts
Systematically under attack
Community under siege
No reprieve from the onslaught
We started to believe
Somehow we were less than
We must be more blessed than
Because why else would they keep putting us to the test?
Kings can’t kill Kings
Kings uplift your Queens
Queens support Queens
That’s how we do things
Cyclin’ our dollar
That’s why we buy black
Generational wealth
Making that money stack
Pharoahs
Black Magic
Skin with the pigment
Some sit under the sun for hours to achieve
Lips with the fullness
Some visit a doctor with a photo of what they’d like to receive
Hair with a thickness
They go to a salon so a stylist can add what they call volume
So we can believe
That’s black magic
Stretch marks in the form of lightening
Ass with a shape chosen at a surgeon’s office
Not voodoo
It ain’t witchcraft
That’s my mama
That’s cornbread fed
Some Southern roots
Others from the Islands
This shit is righteous
This shit is Godly
What these women yearn for we have
And it gets better with time
Wine
Divine
Black
And magic
Our men get sexualized and objectified
It’s tragic
But gunned down and handcuffed for the same things they do
And call it bad shit
It’s only equal when it’s for the culture
Gawking over the benefits, we call ‘em vultures
To us
It’s black
It’s pure
It’s King
And Queen
It’s Black Magic
Taking it back
We want it
Cuz it’s ours
What does the system fear?
Us united
Black power
Taking it back
We want it
Cuz it’s ours
What does the system fear?
Us united
Black power
Told 'em hang up racism
They said fuck 'em, noose 'em
Wait, I mean Lynch, Willy
Then tell the world it was suicide, silly
They throw our people in prison
New slavery
Fuck these tears (Huh)
Fuck these tears
No longer do we fear
We taking over ya hear
Fuck they fears (Huh)
Fuck they fears
They got away with murder
For four hundred years
Black and proud
We ain’t standing down
Black and proud
We ain’t standing down
Black and proud
We ain’t standing down
Black (Black)
Black (Black)
Black (Black)
Black is the crown
Stand up
It’s time to fix your crown, no heads down
