Black progress


Uh

Black progress
Down pressed for too long
Black progress
Now let's stand up strong
Black progress
Won't give up the fight
Black progress
For equal rights
Black progress
Love is what we need
Black progress
For humanity, uh
If you feel me, black understands ya

Ayy, I gotta get it, gots gots to get it
I heard white privilege got cops acquitted
As if somehow violent shots not deliberate
Second class citizenships not the business
The loss of a history, a language of religion
Didn't cause my story to glory God intended
We went from Juneteenth to the 13th am?ndment
Fighting to get free when th? world they're against us
My mother's skin color was Lupita Nyong'o's
Black life, where people tryna see where their eyes close
My thoughts like a river running free in the Congo
Or James Bond and Nicky G in a convo
We in a stronghold, building of France banner
Tryna take an acre or solid ground to stand on
They hate a liberated mind like Kofi Annan
But fear don't pump through this heart I put my hand on
We can't be compelled like trivial objects
That'll have us deviate from the plan that God crest
Let's stand arm-in-arm with the man who's heart's next
That's power to the people of land, time to invest

Black progress
Down pressed for too long
Black progress
Now let's stand up strong
Black progress
Won't give up the fight
Black progress
For equal rights
Black progress
Love is what we need
Black progress
For humanity, hey!
If you feel me, black understands ya

Yo, it's that black progress
The black constitution, I made it in effect
The words start and we don't know the rest
King Selassie I obeyed the right before concept
Bring the black words again to under the darkskin
Invest in our own it's not good and y'all guessed
Without you all I want interest
Build our self a civilization, run a wisdom test
Better than dem ever seen it 'cause the most high bless
Socially and economically we get strong
Pray for black youth to come up with a righteous plan
All the hatred chunks are out the way, get bunked
Word together, build a nation on the riches won
'Cause it said the blacks are now at the most fun in Congress
Bet you caught between the east and west
Rastaman inna Jamaica in a different quest
Shashamane got y’all impressed

Black progress
Down pressed for too long
Black progress
Now let's stand up strong
Black progress
Won't give up the fight
Black progress
For equal rights
Black progress
Love is what we need
Black progress
For humanity, uh
If you feel me, black understands ya

Thank you because you correct this lyrics
