Black Rose

[00:00.71] Daddy, how come there's no dolls that look like me in the shop?
[00:05.97] My daughter she a princess
[00:11.69] The world ain't slaughtering her skin yet
[00:13.46] These kayne's have not become important to the kim's yet
[00:16.30] But when she gets older they'll be brothers same colour
[00:18.77] As her Pappa who will not be showing any sort of interest
[00:21.76] Have mercy on my brothers yea
[00:23.38] Disrespecting women who remind them of their mothers
[00:25.35] Disrespecting women who remind them of their sisters
[00:28.13] Disrespecting women who remind them of their cousins
[00:30.72] Have mercy on my brothers
[00:32.39] Everyone's entitled to their own taste
[00:33.67] But every time you pricks make a
[00:35.35] Statement I can find a rival in my own race
[00:37.77] I love all types a women
[00:38.86] Variety is ok
[00:40.45] But society will throw shade
[00:42.41] So tell me who's fighting for the sisters then
[00:44.46] When their brother keep on dissing them
[00:46.32] Try and picture Justin as a little one
[00:48.38] Daddy was around but I was raised by the women them
[00:51.14] Nan, aunts, mummy
[00:52.49] Black woman significance
[00:53.62] So fuck you and your ignorance
[00:56.35] When I was young I had Ashanti on my wall
[00:58.62] And there was pictures of my family
[01:00.22] In the front room with certificates
[01:01.67] University graduates and good citizens
[01:04.26] Baby keep doing you
[01:05.65] Don't let the world ruin
[01:06.72] No matter what they say you are beautiful
[01:09.08] Beauty's in the eye of the beholder
[01:10.92] And we don't know who is who
[01:12.30] So who are they to slew when they slewing you?
[01:14.63] Babe, you're golden
[01:15.63] So Golden
[01:18.37] I need you golden
[01:21.20] So Golden
[01:23.71] I can cry those tears for you
[01:27.02] Again
[01:29.03] But just know I'll be there for you
[01:32.33] To keep you golden
[01:34.20] And they say sticks don't break no bones
[01:38.19] But their words might still hit home
[01:41.07] Broke up bags on concrete stones
[01:43.57] Look at all this is our soul
[01:46.55] To keep your golden
[01:47.91] So golden (so golden)
[01:50.08] So golden (so golden)
[01:51.81] I need you golden (so golden)
[01:54.22] So golden (so golden)
[01:56.94] Black rose
[01:57.85] When you was doing light skin vs dark skin
[02:00.41] Some was doing white skin vs our skin
[02:03.26] Divided and conquered
[02:04.38] Living but slightly unconscious
[02:05.64] Killing each other minor (problems)
[02:07.86] Do I define a monster
[02:08.85] Cos my knife is longer
[02:10.19] My left is weak but my right is stronger
[02:12.82] What I really mean is my writings stronger
[02:15.37] Should I wife a Kate or should I wife a Rhonda
[02:18.08] I don't mind neither genre
[02:19.26] Brothers back home using cake soap
[02:21.96] I'm only caked up cos I make doe
[02:24.50] We're all try stay afloat in the same boat
[02:27.17] But I'm trying to be the goat not scape goat
[02:29.93] Are you aware of who I am
[02:32.00] There's something called opinions and I really can't escape those
[02:35.27] Ewwwww his black and his ugly
[02:37.76] Naaaahh I'm black and I'm lovely
[02:40.52] Only god can judge me
[02:42.90] This ones ones for my brothers that are lonely in this fuckaree
[02:45.75] Coming home from school and your shadows your only company
[02:48.21] Really I'm from Africa but I don't know the country
[02:50.97] I'm a lost man
[02:51.72] Where the hell are my locks at
[02:53.67] Got me looking at a dashiki like what's that
[02:56.58] And still I'm jango to you house niggas
[02:59.19] I get even with the Stevens in combat
