BLAQUE POWER

a whole country turned on me and my niggas 

who pulling the triggers the cops or me and my niggas 

who's the terrorist the Syrians or me and my niggas 

fuck being all that i can be 

for a government that can't stand me

for a nation that can't stand to see my love my brother

would rather i kill my brother and grow up with no father

well i did that i just thank god for my mother

pardon us for acting out you're scaring us 

pardon us for staying strapped you're scaring us 

pardon us for feeling like the government could give a fuck 

don't let the media make you wanna love yourself

your life mattered the second you breathed yourself

they picked trump so why don't we pick our community 

forget the vanity its time for unity

they'd like to suffocate our own humanity

but we breathe cause we believe 

and we strive cause we believe 

we don't die cause we believe 

we multiply cause we believe 

it's time we turn our depression into a positive weapon

don't let the system enslave your mind 

they want to keep you in a bind

our people have been cursed many years but once said a reverend

when life seems like hell seek heaven 

don't wait until you're on a metaphorical cross to seek your lord

raise your black fist and soar
