Never Had Your Back (feat. Speech & Ke'Andra)

作词 : Todd A. Thomas

作曲 : Andrew Laidlaw

These 52-year-olds bones I hear creeks without water flows

Hip hop pro but will never know songs my 23-year-old daughter knows

She's plays artists I dig, I ask who is that kid?

Her answers are inaudible

Little this and that named after mobs and gats

Mumble raps, beats are trap

And every week there's an all new batch

So I just relax and let her do her

'Cause I prefer to defer to Black Girl Magic

Plus all the things me and my queen put into her

Life's a blur, I remember whеn she was young

All the lessons that did occur

Tеach her 'bout her bees and birds

Streets and curbs and dreams deferred

Langston Hughes and Miriam Makeba

Angela Davis, facts

That combat the narrative that

We're doomed as Blacks and nothing can save us

Freedom fighting is the proper behavior, I tell her

You're black queen and you're not ***** and nah, nah

You are not vixen, nah, nah

You are not a trick *****, nah, nah

Hear nobody's quick fix, nah, nah

America's never had your back no no no

You're not trap queen, nah, nah

A stripper lap dance queen, nah, nah

White boy fetish thing, nah, nah

Melanated Black queen, high esteem

America's never had your back no no no

Americas never had your back no no no

America's never had your back no no no

Stop your bull ish

Get off your pulpit

You've been a pit bull to Black women

The fullness

Of what you done in the slave shacks back in the wilderness

Having your way with women to little girls

The childrenless

Breaking in entry

Centuries of souls thrown in manure pits

Then you pitted you on one light kids against the darker kids

Now were conditioned to keeping sparking this

Hating our own women

Intimacy divisions and indecisions

For relational confusion

Materialistic dilutions

And all this cuz of your intrusions

No wonder we came to conclusions that

Blacks lives don’t matter

Murder of Breonna Taylor

Black blood that splatters

America constantly failing us

Give reparations

Give a separate nation

No more diversity talk

It's a Black situation

And stop degrading our dear sisters on your TV stations

You're black queen and you're not ***** and nah, nah

You are not vixen, nah, nah

You are not a trick *****, nah, nah

Hear nobody's quick fix, nah, nah

America's never had your back no no no

You're not trap queen, nah, nah

A stripper lap dance queen, nah, nah

White boy fetish thing, nah, nah

Melanated Black queen, high esteem

America's never had your back no no no

Americas never had your back no no no

America's never had your back no no no

America's never had your back no no no

America's never had your back no no no

America's never had your back

But they love to have your backside

They're infatuated with that

They love your full lips, your melanin darkness

On them, they display

On You, they dismiss

And all of this madness sadness could easily be reversed

If Black queens were seen as God's packages and nurture

We see what you done to the people that was first year

Us rising up your worst fear, America

You're black queen and you're not ***** and nah, nah

You are not vixen, nah, nah

You are not a trick *****, nah, nah

Hear nobody's quick fix, nah, nah

America's never had your back no no no

You're not trap queen, nah, nah

A stripper lap dance queen, nah, nah

White boy fetish thing, nah, nah

Melanated Black queen, high esteem

America's never had your back no no no

Americas never had your back no no no

America's never had your back no no no

America's never had your back no no no

America's never had your back no no no
