Black Is Beautiful by Tayo D Lyrics
[Chorus]
It's time to make our stand
They're going to treat us equal
Black Lives Matter
So this one is for all my people
It's time to make our stand
They're going to treat us equal
Black Lives Matter
So this one is for all my people
[Verse 1]
Look
Said I'm blacker than black and you know what bro I love it
I've been put down cah my skin is dark
But these days no-one can tell me nothin'
I already told you a million times
I wouldn't change the colour of my skin
If I was reborn and had a million tries
Yo, I put that on my life
Listen
If you're peng and you're brown and can hold me down
Bеtter call or text me
If thеy're hating on you then it's envy
Cah the way that melanin glowing look sexy
Dark skin beauty I'm tryna get cuffed
Mrs Officer please arrest me
Do you have any dangerous objects?
I don't know but, you can check me
Black is Beautiful but they hate on my black queens cus they're the prototype
Fuck them
Black kids with a black wife
Perfect, that's my approach in life
Don't let these pricks come and put you down
Sorry for the times where you weren't defended
Black men as a whole gotta move different
We've got to protect black women
Yo, we've got to keep them comfy
Keep them safe cah this world is fucked
And it seems everybody is out to get them
So the least that they should have is us
Yo, they should always trust that we're going to have their backs
If you hate on them
Can't be my friend or my bredrin
What kinda shit is that?
Round of applause
You can get clapped
Mandem we've got to check our boys
Can't be in my circle talking wass
A black man hating black women?
Yea you're trash
Yo, fists up in the air for all of my people
We don't ask for too much
We just want to be treated equal
So fuck police brutality
And fuck all the social injustice
If you're still asking - why black lives not all lives?
At this point it just is
Mandem we’ve got to step up
And protect black women cah they deserve it
Black women I see how hard you're working
Love yourselves and know you're worth it
[Bridge]
(Know you're worth it)
(Know you're worth it)
(They’re going to treat us equal)
Black women I see how hard you're working
Love yourselves and know you're worth it
[Chorus]
Its time to make our stand
They’re going to treat us equal
Black Lives Matter
So this one is for all my people
[Verse 2]
One more time if you’re sittin' in the back and you still can’t hear
If you think this is an American problem
Then you’re just dumb cah they’re racist here
Talking 'bout - if you get stopped there’s a reason
Don’t be rude and there’s nothing to fear
But we're getting shot by cops just for breathing
And you really wonder why we're scared?
Listen
Don’t come around here with that nonsense bro
Yea its conscious content and substance now
But you can knocked unconscious bro
And I ain't even opposed to a riot
As long as they feel what they need to
Cah they might've passed Breonna's Law
But they’re still letting her killers walk free too
So fuck changing the system bro I'm ready to tear it down
We've been making noise for a while
So let's make sure that they hear it now
And when I say put your money where your mouth is and buy black
Listen up brudda I mean that
Economic power is serious
So real talk going forward we need that
It's time to make our mark
Cah we're stronger together, weaker apart
If you hate on your own you’re in need of a heart
That shit there can make you dearly depart
Love to everyone makin' a difference
Doing the best you can is the main thing
Past generations set the foundation
It's on us to keep the landscape changing so
[Chorus]
It's time to make our stand
They're going to treat us equal
Black Lives Matter
So this one is for all my people
It's time to make our stand
They're going to treat us equal
Black Lives Matter
So this one is for all my people
It's time to make our stand
They're going to treat us equal
Black Lives Matter
So this one is for all my people
It's time to make our stand
They're going to treat us equal
Black Lives Matter
So this one is for all my people
