Before we was niggas, we was Kings and Queens
King and Queens . King and Queens
Fast forward to the present,it's a whole different scene
We redefined black power to a whole different meaning
We killing our own, cause we can't go get a loan
Put it down on a business, put it down on a home
We still pray up to God, Don't gotta wonder if he hearing us
Even through it all, ain't got no fear in us
Nah
We stay true to the truest, You can hear it in the music
You can feel it in ya soul, know I'm preaching on
We just trynna survive, man to each his own
Riding round loud, Till the speakers blown
But you know
Dark skin melanin, Something like a felony
They killing outta jealousy
But you know, you know
Black lives matter if you pitch or you the batter
Everybody loves Denzel, but only as an actor
We don't know no better we ain't got no fuse
Niggas killing niggas and the cops is too
See Everyday is a blessing or a lesson
Smith and Wesson to your temple, they ain't thinking bout arresting
You can lose ya life from a busted taillight
Or a nigga on a mission trynna Get his bills right
Too many brothers they done died off of violence
Ya we need guidance, they ain't gone provide it
Another one gone, at the hands of a brother
Then we suffer in silence, But we still getting by
But you know
Dark skin melanin, Something like a felony
They killing outta jealousy
But you know, you know
Riding round,Windows down
Got the bass booming
Got the Bass Booming
Now stop.
Seen his lights before I pulled up to the spot
Only a mile away here go a goddamn cop
I Pulled over to the side, I ain't really act surprised
When he asked for my license I said that's fine
Reached over to my pocket, just doing what he ask
I just wish I left my hands on the dash, before he blasted
Shots fired, shots fired
Then another one
He emptied the clip on me, said I had a gun
The police report saying it was justified
But I wonder, in the killers mind, does he know?
Dark skin melanin, Something like a felony
They killing outta jealousy
But you know, you know
Dark skin melanin, Something like a felony
They killing outta jealousy
But you know, you know
