Tomorrows Today ft. Billy Mercury, Ashley Ré & Derrick "Slickk" Wilson Lyrics

Have you ever thought, what if this is all just a dream

Head above water we can never drown

Yo, ghetto reformed

I represent them niggas that could weather the storm

I represent the type of fights we're together

We strong from night till morn. No heating, cause them lights ain't on

We was on the boulevard making dime plays

Hitting up Brian store for the tuna and them chicken plates

I'm just being real, we ain't good off them fish cakes

No missing a sale, you got eyes, we stretching this bake

I say them plucks gon' wait

It was a Thursday, my big brother Ras lit up a chalice, made the earth shake

My thoughts got deep, so I brought about the early days

Of how they gentrified Gent, and now its Park Place

A hell of a day, it's like we living in a dark space

This clouded with rage, but never giving up on our faith

The greatest exchange is the love we pour from our veins

While turning the pain we receive into a hard gain

Hey black men, even with the chains they can't hold us down

We found strength in the numbers aint no stopping now

Head above water we can never drown, keep ya head to the sky

When the grind and the hustle didn't play fair

We made it thru the struggle could've stayed there

We fought too hard just to be here

Meditate a couple guided breaths, in and out

Pray to lord that he guides my steps

Left and right, up and down, it ain't far from death

Rest in peace to the ones that overslept

I'm woke

My black life matters, home and it's scattered

Blast of the dreams we shatter shoots and ladders

To a wonderland, I wonder man, always feel under than

Shots fill the city, so we gotta play Aquaman

Tryna raise a Aqualad in this fatherless town

So it looks a little awkward man

Just what I'm living for

Supposed to be like Jesus, be a leader, so a seed of some

Im reading for the non-seers

Peter Green, Don Cheadle

Talk to me lord, for you know what's in store

Ain't no honor in this court

Ain't no justice in this law

Just hate wrapped in pork, served on plastic forks

Make an honest living, then they come to extort

Hey black men, even with the chains they can't hold us down

We found strength in the numbers aint no stopping now

Head above water we can never drown, keep ya head to the sky

When the grind and the hustle didn't play fair

We made it thru the struggle could've stayed there

We fought too hard just to be here

Yo, black excellence, black excellence

Strive for the black leverage, die for the black negligence

It's never separate,

We hustle from gutters to keep our family fit

Limited, but we manage it

Empty canvases, they paint us a perfect picture, no damages

Extra white for the camera lens, some outlandish shit

We keep rebutting, cause we ain't falling for camera tricks

Generational wealth is what we chasing

Passports and vacations, to beat the system

We made it, I never thought I would say this

We built different, not basic

Properly educated, we learning from all the hatred that's mentally integrated

It's like, we living life on a quest to find our way in

God gave us a vision that's different, called a delayed win

Stick to the script, no improv, we involving

Every melanated heartbeat that's throbbing

Hey black man

Hey black man

Hey black man

Hey black man
