Dear Black People... Lyrics

Dear Black People

Hey Family

How yall feeling

Alright now

Black is beautiful

Black is exuberant

Black is original

Black is strong kind and forgiving not callous

Yet we all know we've been experiencing some callous times

And I wanted to use a loving space to address some of those callous things

No man or woman is exempt

And I send this message with devoted intent

Check it

Dear Black Women

Us black men see you

You came a long way forever our equal

When we was down

You fought our wars with the straight backs

I hope this message is a formal means of pay back

You deserve the recognition and acknowledgment

You deserve all your flowers every compliment

We know you tired as shit

That laundry list growing thicker everyday in his absence he don't commit

In the fall raking leaves growing muscle though

In the winter hauling salt so you can shovel snow

Hit the market to pick the fucking groceries

Just to cook a single meal

Lonely on your solely

Staying cleaned and organized be the baseline

Until you take the trash out and then you realize

You out your soft girl era

Baby

You slightly aggressive

And them doors ain't gon open themselves

It's a shame you got to pull chairs out with no help

She take a heel off to drive

Pumping gas herself

Looking good in that dress

Just to please herself

That plastic in her bedroom affect her mental health

Yearning for the real thing

But Nighas extra scary

They either broke with hella time or they chasing money

Maybe they sex is phony personality ugly

They not ascetically pleasing

They community demons

They not enough for your friends

They not enough in your skin

They still active on hinge

Umm

It's giving streets though

You give a nigha a chance

You in a loop hole

You tell that man in advance

You not a silly hoe

Until you the lead star cast in his silly show

Dear black man I see your efforts

I'm one of you brother I feel what's happening

Our only safe spaces use to be the titty bar

The more you pay the more they listen it's not really hard

You pay the bills nope that's not enough

You chase a dream nope you chasing sluts

You educated nope you think you all that

And what you worth if you can't change a flat

Nothing

They us give nothing

So we leave something

They shoot us

And publicize it as much as they want it

Our pain

Don't mean a thing

So what you crying for

You lack the skills to express yourself

You zero to a Rambo

To love your wife and children

Try to heal first

That inner hate only hurt the ones that's really close

I love my brothers to death

But not to kill a bro

You love your brothers to death

So much you'll take a soul

Nobody perfect

So be brave to explore the you

Our women need us

But want man that's accountable

I know it's hard and you'll be ard

In the long run

Just take a break in between

Life's a marathon

Don't be the one that crash out before your run is done

Don't self destruct you make the oops job easier

I love my people and want my people to grow and glow

I love my people and want my people to grow and glow

I cry a tear hope yall hear

No gilly wallo

I cry a tear hope yall hear

No gilly wallo

Black is beautiful

Black is exuberant

Black is original

Black is strong kind and forgiving not callous
