BLACK LOVE

Sometimes we carry a love that's bigger than us But I'm always holding on, never letting go Yeah, it's deep inside Met him in the city, thought it'd be one night Turned into my world, became my light But in the quiet moments when the shadows fall I still think of you, feel it all Raised by the strength of melanin kings and queens The ones who built me up made me dream They gave me roots, taught me to stand tall But some days I wonder, am I honoring it all Black love, I still believe in you But my heart's torn and I've got issues too You gave me roots, taught me to fly But here I stand with someone by my side I know it's complicated but I speak my truth Black love, I will always honor you You're my foundation, my core Sometimes when they look it's like they judge me inside But maybe it's just my mind playing tricks, feeding the divide I hear Dr. Uma's words and I feel the heat He questions my blackness, man that stings deep I understand where he comes from, I really do But can I honor black love with this love that's true I know some will doubt if I've turned my back But this love I carry isn't something I lack Black love, I still believe in you But my heart's torn and I've got issues too You gave me roots, taught me to fly But here I stand with someone by my side I know it's complicated but I speak my truth Black love, I will always honor you You're my foundation, my core I still carry you in me I honor black kings, I honor black queens You gave me the tunes to live out my dreams I was born from your love and I'll never forget You're the rhythm in my veins and I carry that debt Black love, I still believe in you But my heart's torn and I've got issues too You gave me roots, taught me to fly But here I stand with someone by my side It's a complicated love but it's all truth Black love, I will always honor you Forever in my soul I'll never let you go Black love, you're forever with me I carry you every day I still honor you I'll always carry you Black Love I, I, the state they love, can you feel it in me I can't locate me, it's just my mind of you I hear Dr. Umer's words and I feel the heat He questions my blackness, man that stings deep I understand where he comes from, I really do But can I honor black love with this love that's true I know some will doubt if I've turned my back But this love I carry isn't something I lack I understand leaving you I understand leaving you I understand leaving you
