VERSE 1:

Some say the blacker the berry The sweeter the juice/

The darker the flesh the deeper the roots/

That give em reason to shoot/

Hoodie on eating skittles could be drinking a juice/

Or on the corner selling cds/ it could've been you/

How could you say that black lives ain't important as blue/

When they on camera going live still ignoring the truth In clear view/

Imma side with my brothers and sisters I'm here too/

Imma ride through the trouble but check in my rear view/

I provide for the others who facing they fears too/

We'll arise from the rubble through faith in our peer groups/

Come alive when we racing to take on our real truth/

Homicide is the same by cop or a neck noose/

We panic when they stop us they job is to let loose/

The damage is when options have not been address too/

I'm planning on a profit that top what I just blew/

But grant it my philosophy got me through rough hoops/

 

CHORUS:

Yeah You know what this is/

do this for my kids/

Use this music teach some sense/

Understand/

You know blacker berries sweeter juice don't need to prove it then/

You depend on who is trending/ I present a new beginning/

Follow rules I'm leaving gems even pennies can be plenty/

I know boys that need some energy and girls that need defending Oooh/

stop pretending you intend to stand up when they shoot/

I know you know you fed up but make sure to keep your head up too/

 

Before we got seats at the top We was at the bottom/

Believe me we reaching for God He relieves the problems/

Through Sebi's teachings we healing leaving peace in our bodies/

We high quality/ gaining knowledge became hobby/

 

VERSE 2:

They don't like to learn/ cuz they don't like the teachers/

They don't teach em how to earn/

They teach em how to need em/

Feed em books about some leaders overseas That came to meet us/

just to treat us less than people/

Now they people want to be us/

Can't believe it's been so many years and we are still defeated/

We the reason/ we could easily be kings and queens if we believe it/

Industry done made us think that we don't need no meaning/

Feed us negativity and leave us to receive IT/

Then as soon as when we perceive it We think we supposed to be it/

See it all over the tv We should unplug it it's easy/

tell them we love them And teach them how to be brothers and sisters/ greet them with hugs Commend them on being tough and relentless/

 

CHORUS:

Yeah You know what this is/

do this for my kids/

Use this music teach some sense/

Understand/

You know blacker berries sweeter juice don't need to prove it then/

You depend on who is trending/ I present a new beginning/

Follow rules I'm leaving gems even pennies can be plenty/

I know you know you fed up but make sure to keep your head up too/
