Better Believe Black History Month Rap by Poni Boi Lyrics
[Intro]
Yeah...
About to tell you the Truth…
Like Sojourner…
Had slaves, dreamin' of bein' a Freeman
Like Morgan
Keep the coins
We need Change
Shout out to 2Pac
[Verse]
You better believe the way I’m seein’ things…
Swear I gotta dream like Dr. King
I’m about to make a hit like Jackie
Winnin’ this race
I’m up in the front like Rosa Parks
You see me dashin’ like Usain
When I hear the start…
So quick they say I’m fly
Boy, I spread my wings
Ain’t a caged bird like the one that Maya Angelou sings
About
And I have dreams
About
Bein’ all I can be
Boy, you better believe…
[Hook]
[Verse]
Yeah
Shout out to Harriet Tubman
I’m an underground rapper
Underground trapper
Shouting out Black Lives Matter
And I float like a butterfly
I sting like a bee
Man, I’m a rapping Muhhamed Ali
Always told to pay attention
I know it ain’t free
I should start a talk show
That's a Oprah Winfrey
I take a leap of faith
Jackie Joyner-Kersee
I look down at my feet
And I land it perfectly
I always go fo(u)r gold
Serena Williams
Got gold on my chains
Like I’ve got millions
No black and white drinkin’ fountains
We share the hydration
I’m just a boy of Obama’s nation
Ima say this, with a full exclamation
I get the motivation
From thoughts
Of bigot plantations
Shout out to Lincoln
Emancipation Proclamation
Boy, you better believe what I'm sayin’…
[Hook]
[Verse]
Don’t worry about a thing
That’s what Marley sings
It’s a Little B.I.G. world
Malcolm, Notorious thing
Rest in peace Mandela
Hear that victorious ring
Frederick Douglass once said...
*ahem*
“Right is of no Sex –
Truth is of no Color –
God's the Father of us all
Meaning we're all brothers."
And sisters
My bad Ella Baker
'Ey, I keep my eyes on the goal
Shout out to Pelé...
Yo!
[Hook]
Yeah...
About to tell you the Truth…
Like Sojourner…
Had slaves, dreamin' of bein' a Freeman
Like Morgan
Keep the coins
We need Change
