Kinglish Lyrics

Hook:
Blood of a king, skin like olive, hair like wool/
This ain't no mystery, white-washed our history, played us like boo boo the fool/
Nah I ain’t learn this in school, Listen up while I drop a few jewels/
Blood of a king, skin like olive, hair like wool/

Verse 1:
40 acres and mule, still never paid them dues/
Knee in the neck, can’t get no respect they ain't never had them views/
Act like my skin is my sin, then try to pretend like everything cool/
The power been trippin,never had freedom, only permission, I’m breaking them rules/
My black life matter for a hashtag, they still wanna put him in a body bag/
What the hell he think he doing with his black a%$ /
Trying educate these people over trap claps/
And that's fat facts/
The spirit of Pac in my veins,we finally breaking them chains/
But I still see racist faces, on top of self hate can’t escape the matrix/

Bridge:
And we all plead the 5th, Then we call it myth/
Like the truth don’t exist, I’m so tired of this s#!t/
How we all plead the 5th, and then call it myth/
Like the truth don’t exist/ I’m so tired of this...

Hook (1x)

Vesre 2:
I’m black and I’m proud, but that don't make me better than the next man/
I’m black and I’m proud, but that don’t make anybody else less than/
I’ll say it out loud, but they still don’t hear me/
They just wanna make the gun go pow, my skin tone make them fear me/
Land of the free, home of the brave, my people were slaves when that song was written/
Keep that on the hush, back of the bus, think about us you might feel something different/
They don't want to listen, these people been trippin/
They’d rather be living like Jim Crow alive/
I’m under suspicion, but still on my mission thinking about how many didn't survive/
