A Prayer for Black America by Teeklef Lyrics
Is it me?
Am I judged just by the color of my skin
Man we wasn’t supposed to live till 23
One in 5 be looking more like one in 3
One and three (13th amendment)
My skin black my skin black
And I love that shit
Yeah I love that shit
Say
My skin black my skin black
Man I love that shit
Yeah I love that shit
Can’t believe they killed my nigga Floyd
Choke a nigga while he on the floor
Breonna Taylor kicking down her doors
Freddie Gray way out in Baltimore
Tell me Why y’all take advantage of the law?
Loosing count we tired of keeping score
Police be acting up is we at war?
Man we don’t want more
No more
You tell me that shit ain’t your fault
KKK been trolling yeah it ain’t your fault
Speaking up against it yeah it ain’t your fault
Eating off my people like y’all weren’t at fault
You can say slavery ended then hunnid years ago
You can say we ain’t have Jim Crowe that shit typical
Red line segregate the mans talking zip code
Tired of sitting yo
Can’t believe they killed my nigga Floyd
Why you think we making all this noise
Shot Philando Castile just because
Garner couldn’t breathe they locked his jaw
Tell me Why y’all take advantage of the laws
We been crying government ignores
Sterling Martin Brown died for the cause
Tell me how many more?
No more
March them street March them streets
Pump them fist
They can’t ignore that shit
March them street March them streets
Pump them fists
If only the dead could speak
Is it me?
Am I judged just by the color of my skin
Man we wasn’t supposed to live till 23
One in 5 be looking more like one in 3
Whoooo!!!
Why you judge me by my color skin
Talking Black on black that ain’t a thing
We from royal blood we Kings and Queens
Black my super power whatchu mean
Can’t watch no more killings via the media
I just got a dollar and dream
If the po po tripping intervene
Yeah Martin Had a Dream
He had a dream...
Am I judged just by the color of my skin
Man we wasn’t supposed to live till 23
One in 5 be looking more like one in 3
One and three (13th amendment)
My skin black my skin black
And I love that shit
Yeah I love that shit
Say
My skin black my skin black
Man I love that shit
Yeah I love that shit
Can’t believe they killed my nigga Floyd
Choke a nigga while he on the floor
Breonna Taylor kicking down her doors
Freddie Gray way out in Baltimore
Tell me Why y’all take advantage of the law?
Loosing count we tired of keeping score
Police be acting up is we at war?
Man we don’t want more
No more
You tell me that shit ain’t your fault
KKK been trolling yeah it ain’t your fault
Speaking up against it yeah it ain’t your fault
Eating off my people like y’all weren’t at fault
You can say slavery ended then hunnid years ago
You can say we ain’t have Jim Crowe that shit typical
