Black Pride by Tife Idowu Lyrics

Kendrick said, “I said they treat me like a slave, cah’ me black
Woi, we feel a whole heap of pain, cah’ we black”

Our men are irrelevant in this ‘society’, our women are deemed as useless
Our children treated like slaves, watched carefully with judgemental eyes,
Of our hypocritical ‘society’
Killed on a daily, but we’re silenced by our fear

“I can’t breathe”
Eric couldn’t breathe, but they didn’t care
He was a black man
Trayvon had his life set out for him; he was only seventeen
Zimmer shot him
They didn’t care; he was a black man

Now we’re angry, but don’t forget
You moulded us to be this way

Now Pac said,
“Some say the blacker the berry, the sweeter the juice
I say the darker the flesh then the deeper the roots”
Black isn’t oppression
Black is pride
