This is for my black boys, black men
Black brothers, black friends
They see you through the same lens
It's sad that you could never be vulnerable
Feel at home with yourself
They pick you up you to tear you down
And put you back on a shelf
Just know your worth it, you not a king that's an understatement
You wasn't put this earth simply for entertainment
Simply amazing know they try to strip your heart
Of the way it naturally loves
That's what sets you apart from the world
Whether you loving on your momma or your girl
We need you black boy
Fill us with your black joy
And you scream if you need too
Fill the world with black noise
I'm gon' stand with you
Raising up my hands for you
Don't matter if I'm yelling to the sky, telling 'em don't shoot
Don't you forget that you can be your most authentic self
Don't be no one else
I love you just the way you are
I love your scars admire them like stars
You are
You are greatness
You are guidance
Pressure will make a diamond
You are
You are strength
You are light
Always ready to fight
You are
You are greatness
You are guidance
Pressure will make a diamond
You are loved
And you are love
Look
I don't even know you, but I know it's a fact
That you a young black king so they target your back
Like no matter what you say or what you seem to do
Treat you like some criminals and animals
They don't know how to handle you
See I got brothers and uncles and cousins
Homies yelling fuck 12 so they kill us by the dozen see
Thats what you get for being born black
Oscar Grant rode a train and got two in his back
They killing our men, then get mad at the public
Philando's girl stood strong while he got shot in the stomach
Damn
I don't think I got that strength in me
I hug my brother's everyday cause tomorrows never guaranteed and
I been thinking 'bout my people falling
And how I'm praying for your safety if you ever cross 'em
Cause
Cause they been evil man they been a problem
And it's Queens Get The Money but I'm rooting for everybody
We kings and queens no more falling to statistics
You making your future no more falling to the system and
I'm fixing crowns if they crooked or down
Cause it's "all lives matter" 'til you Black or you Brown
And you are
You are greatness
You are guidance
Pressure will make a diamond
You are
You are strength
You are light
Always ready to fight
You are
You are greatness
You are guidance
Pressure will make a diamond
You are loved
And you are love
We ain't perfect
But
All we can do is be better you know
Just hear me out
Ayo
Don't believe the hype
You never had to alter your image to get some likes
I'm sorry that some brothers been ignorant all your life
You're more than a good night, you could be somebody's wife
Or maybe run the world
Do it right and do it twice
Impact the game
I admire your strength and beauty how you inspire change
I hate to see a video of him slapping your face
You could conquer all we call it God's grace
You say that we the kings
I'm disappointed how we have been
We could love you better as brothers even more as your friend
I stand by your side or die for how you view
As a man, as a human I know you can't loose
On the chess board, baby girl the strongest piece
Protect my every move
I thank you for being my peace
Provider of your love, no amount to what it means
The girl of my dreams
I'm your King you're my Queen
You are
You are greatness
You're my highness
Pressure made you a diamond
You are
You're my strength and my light
Always steering me right
You are
You are greatness
You're my highness
Pressure made you a diamond
You are loved
And you are love
