The Black Today (feat. Dee Grand)

It hurt being black today I know everyday ain't a given And being black is really a privilege That's why they on attack today It's something in you they fear So much so they don't even want you here It hurt being black today Not one of them days we smile It's one where tears shed by the mile They hate the way you act today Like you found purpose not fear Take all the chances you can while you here Cause it hurt being Black today Blessings and curse of the pigment I hope you understand you built different That's why it's demolition day And Black man is the foundation Sense of urgency on impatient Cause it hurt being black today And it's war on a Black man And it's war on a Black Fam It hurt being black today Take pride in the good and the bad You get familiar with both when you Black It hurt being black today I know tomorrow will be better But it hurt being Black today I know tomorrow will be better But it hurt being Black today It hurt being black today So what the f*ck we gone do? Talk about problems and no solutions Think of a vision of you and then execute it That's how we make a shift and create a movement Searching for all the answers still aint looked inside of you yet We gotta gangbang when the cops kill a Brother All of this Black power we use it against each other Niggas go out and rob Niggas go out and kill Cause niggas aint got no skills Nigga you gotta build Shit aint just gone happen cause you want You gotta Will That's thinking of doing And then you got to do it Sitting on your ass aint creating no movement You've gotta be moving I'm getting better myself How many of our brothers do we gotta Pick up off the pavement Before we realize this shit don't make sense They structured us a way It's to rearrange it Imagine the power if we unified the gang shit To it's origins I know tomorrow will be better But it hurt being Black today I know tomorrow will be better But it hurt being Black today It hurt being black today I remember the way We use to love we I remember the way We use to love we I remember the way We use to love we I remember the way We use to love we Cause it hurt being black today I know tomorrow will be better But it hurt being Black today I know tomorrow will be better But it hurt being Black today It hurt being black today
