Black art not mad art, uh, nu-uh
Black art not sad art, ya, ya
Banba, banda
[Verse 1]
I'm a black hero
Malcolm no little
I'm not here to dig holes like zero
Money turn rows to fours, Rob De Niro
Blacker than a named Draymond, or Shaquille O...Neal
Probably change the game incredible
So poetical I done turn [?] to edible
[?] so starving you're not legible
Metaphor fruit punch lasts vegetables
'Cause we ain't came to be acceptable
Smelling like cocoa butter and lint balls
Everyone running away we're so involved
Every Trump get in the way can get mauled, y'all
I done came a long way
I used to freestyle rap for niggas up in the hard ways
Had a couple flicks, now this tight, it's all great
And the whole fam in good hands like Allstate
[Hook]
Black art not bad art, ya
Black art not mad art, uh, nu-uh
Black art not sad art, ya, ya
Banba, banda
Black art not bad art, ya
Black art not mad art, uh, nu-uh
Black art not sad art, ya, ya
Banba, banda
[Verse 2]
You say okay crop me out or block me out
And you can't box me out, I'm boxkea
Babe is tryna count me out for dropping out
And now I'm just dropping mouth like parkea
Black and cab free but still can't trust police
On the radio now we can't be Rahim
No text me back then you tweaking G
'Cause why would you not wanna hear from me?
Inspired by no-names and Queen Latifs
The Lil Waynes, [?]
My flow is like sold trays of disco meat
With the hip hop beats nigga, watch my feet
It's a miracle when I had that voice so lyrical
Look so spiritual, vibes so mystical
Rolled through a lemon, I swallowed that bitch whole
Struggle made me gold and black made me bold
[Hook]
Black art not bad art, ya
Black art not mad art, uh, nu-uh
Black art not sad art, ya, ya
Banba, banda, hey, hey, hey
[Bridge]
(The blacker the berry the sweeter than juice
I said the blacker the berry the sweeter than juice
The blacker the berry the sweeter than juice
I said the blacker the berry the sweeter than juice)
Black art not bad art, ya
Black art not mad art, uh, nu-uh
Black art not sad art, ya, ya
Banba, banda
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
[Chorus]
Black art not bad art
Black art not mad art
Black art not sad art
Banba, banda
[Outro]
I am the revolution and the revolution don't stop
I am change, soon we will make a change that will change it all
I am courage, courage to move the masses forward against those that will sit and say and not move
I am movement, moving all the place where we will be judged by content of our character and not the colour of our skin
Colour of my people who toiled the land of America and made it great
I am great, great because I dedicate myself to change
I dedicate myself to my people
I dedicate myself to the movement
I dedicate myself to the revolution
And the revolution don't stop
