M.O.E Mind on Equality - It's a Black Thang

No justice, no peace, get your knee off my neck I can't breathe
No justice, no peace, get your knee off my neck I can't breathe
No justice, no peace, get your knee off my neck I can't breathe
No justice, no peace, get your knee off my neck I can't breathe

We will fall, but we surely will rise
Determination, tunnel vision, I can see the prize
Lyrics in your soul, song you will sing
President Obama, Martin Luther King
Black hope, Black fear
Black disappointment, black tears
We black diamonds, so kiss the ring,
YOU WOULDN'T UNDERSTAND, IT'S A BLACK THING

Black cars, black jeep
Imma outkast, they call me black sheep
LIGHTS OUT, they call that black sleep
Never giving up, never tastin' defeat
For so long, we been done wrong, pure emotion, every song
Every note, every bar, cements my status, that imma black star

We will fall, but we surely will rise
Determination, tunnel vision, I can see the prize
Lyrics in your soul, song you will sing
President Obama, Martin Luther King
Black hope, Black fear
Black disappointment, black tears
We black diamonds, so kiss the ring,
YOU WOULDN'T UNDERSTAND, IT'S A BLACK THING

I know you thought I'd fall, I know you seen me struggle
Cause damn it's hard to carry on when no one loves you
Ah, well y'all memory I take with me
It'll manifest in the black family
George Floyd, Brianna Taylor, SAY THEIR NAME
AIN'T NO WAY THAT WE CAN FAIL EM'
Uh, BLACK QUEENS hold me down NOW
STRAIGHTEN OUT YA BLACK CROWN
CAUSE WE WILL NEVER BACK DOWN

We will fall, but we surely will rise
Determination, tunnel vision, I can see the prize
Lyrics in your soul, song you will sing
President Obama, Martin Luther King
Black hope, Black fear
Black disappointment, black tears
We black diamonds, so kiss the ring,
YOU WOULDN'T UNDERSTAND, IT'S A BLACK THING

No justice, no peace, get your knee off my neck I can't breathe
No justice, no peace, get your knee off my neck I can't breathe
No justice, no peace, get your knee off my neck I can't breathe
No justice, no peace, get your knee off my neck I can't breathe

They say character is measured by many
As how a man responds at his lowest point
When his times are toughest, when he have nothing left
Will he stay down, will he continue to fight
We been down for wayyyyy to long
It's time to rise
My people we have to show our hearts
