Don't die on me. I said
Young black king, don't die on me
You my brother, you my keeper, I need you to keep an eye on me
And no more fightin' on the streets
Don't die on me. I said
Young black king, don't die on me
You my brother, you my keeper, I need you to keep an eye on me
And no more fightin' on the streets
Walking 'round with all this pride on me
Well, shit, shit's tough for us already, know that you can still rely on me
Please, just stay alive for me
And my young black queens, don't quit now
Yeah, you're the only ones that got us
I could never let my sis' down
You've been too strong for too long, yet still you never sit down
Wow, that's the power of your lovin'
And it's worthy of a king's crown
And still, you never let your kings down
[Verse 1]
Even though more time we don't deserve it
The picture isn't pretty but it's perfect
Tedious pressure so then I curve it
Serena or Venus, the way I serve it
I'm Malorie Blackman the way I sell books
I jump on the stage and then the world looks
All that bangin' on my door had my girl shook
Like, "Sorry officer, I only sell hooks"
Leave me alone, every little L I took I held it close to home
Live and you learn, they'll always hate me for my tone
For the shade of my skin and not the courage in my bones
Now I'm misunderstood, now feelin' like Nina Simone
They way I tour the world, would've thought that I was Simz
See her on stage, I know that women can be kings
I know that it's fucked, they're overlookin' what you bring
I know shit's all good, but it's just the little things
[Chorus]
Black queen, you're immaculate
It's comin' at the world, they ain't ready for your magic yet
And that was never your fault, man, I guess they couldn't hack it yet
World domination and you ain't even takin' off your jacket yet
So effortlessly fabulous
And my young black kings, I hope it pays off
Go and show 'em what you're made of
Tryna scare us with some things that we are no longer afraid of
Men are superheroes, let me see you take off
I pray you never take your cape off
[Verse 2]
Even though more time we don't fly straight
But trust me, bro, I promise we gon' die great
Our burdens are heavy but we ain't lightweights
Our parents were legends, they had to migrate
So that's the reason not to sit around and chat shit
I'm from the place where Michael Dapaah made a smash hit
Where you can be a rapper if you rap sick
They're screamin', "What a flippin' time to be a black Brit"
We so alive, whole world want our demise, but know we ride
Try to push us all to the side, we know our rights
Now we get the whole of the pie, then go inside
When we see that Merky flag in the sky, just know it's 'ight
The way I top the charts, would've thought that I was Dave
I am young, black, beautiful, and brave
Know that it's fucked, they overlookin' what we gave
I know shit's all good so we pray for better days
[Chorus]
Pray they're better than before (Better than before)
Young, black king, you are everything and more (You are everything and more)
I know one song's not enough to settle scores (Not enough to settle scores)
But from the bottom of my heart, man, I hope you're gettin' yours (Gettin' yours, gettin' yours)
Man, I hope you're gettin' yours (Get yours, get yours)
Young black queen, get your shine on
All I see is innovators and a bag of icons
You can go and ask the whole world where they got their style from
That's you, that's us, God's time and He never gets the time wrong
I guess we're just some ticking time bombs
We'll soon blow, boom
[Outro]
I can make my world come true
All my dreams will see me through
And if that won't get me down
My dreams will turn things all around
With a smile upon my face
I can see a better place
Doesn't matter what will come my way
Believe me now, I will win someday
Nemojte umrijeti na mene. rekao sam
Mladi crni kralj, ne umiru od mene
Ti brate, ti moj čuvar, trebam te da paze na mene
I nema više fightin' na ulicama
Hodanje „okrugli i uz sve to ponos na mene
Pa, sranje, sranje je teška za nas već znaju da još uvijek možete osloniti na mene
Molim te, samo ostati živ za mene
I moja mlada crna kraljice, ne prestati sada
Da, ti si jedini koji nas je
Nikada ne bih mogla dopustiti da mi sis' dolje
Vi ste bili prejaki za predugo, a ipak nikada sjesti
Wow, to je snaga vaše Lovin'
I to je bilo vrijedno kraljevsku krunu
A ipak, ti nikada pustiti svoje kraljeve dolje
[1 redak]
Iako više vremena mi to ne zaslužuju
Slika nije lijepo, ali to je savršena
Dosadan tlak pa onda krivulja ga
Serena ili Venera, onako kako sam ga poslužiti
Ja sam Malorie Blackman način Prodajem knjige
Ja skočiti na pozornicu i onda svijet izgleda
Sve što bangin' na moja vrata je moja djevojka je odmahnuo
Kao, „Žao mi je policajac, samo sam prodati kuke”
Ostavi me na miru, svako malo L sam uzeo sam ga održava u neposrednoj blizini kuće
Kamere i učite, oni će uvijek me mrze za moj ton
Za hladu mojoj koži, a ne hrabrosti u kostima
Sada sam neshvaćen, sada osjećaš kao Nina Simone
Način na koji sam obići svijet bi ste mislili da sam Simz
Vidi joj se na pozornici, znam da žene mogu biti kraljevi
Znam da je to jebeno, oni overlookin' ono što bi
Znam sranje je sve dobro, ali to je samo sitnice
[Hor]
Crna kraljica, ti si čist
To je Comin' na svijetu, nije spreman za svoju magiju još
I to nije bila tvoja krivnja, čovječe, mislim da ne mogu to hack još
Svjetska dominacija i nije ni takin' off jaknu još
Dakle, bez napora nevjerojatan
A moji mladi crni kraljevi, nadam se isplati
Idi i pokazati „em što ste od
Tryna nas plaše sa nekim stvarima koje mi se više ne boji
Muškarci su superheroji, da vidim što skinu
Molim vas nikada odvesti svoju rta off
[Redak 2]
Iako više vremena ne lete ravno
Ali vjerujte mi, brate, obećavam da gon”die Velika
Naši opterećenja su teški, ali mi nije lightweights
Naši roditelji su bili legende, morali su se seliti
Dakle, to je razlog da ne sjediti i razgovarati sranje
Ja sam iz mjesta gdje je Michael Dapaah napravio hit
Gdje možete biti reper ako rap bolesnike
Oni su Screamin', „Kakva flippin' Vrijeme je da se crni Britanac”
Mi tako živa, cijeli svijet želi našu smrt, ali znam da se vozimo
Pokušajte sve nas gurnuti u stranu, znamo naša prava
Sada smo dobili cijeli kolača, a zatim ući
Kada smo vidjeli da Merky zastavu na nebu, samo znam da je „ight
Način na koji sam vrh ljestvice, bio sam mislila da sam Dave
Ja sam mlada, crna, lijepa i hrabra
Znam da je to jebeno, oni overlookin' što mi je dao
Znam sranje je sve dobro pa molimo za bolje dane
[Hor]
Moli da su bolji nego prije (bolje nego prije)
Mlada, crna kralj, ti si sve i više (ti si sve i više)
Znam jednu pjesmu nije dovoljno za poravnanje (nije dovoljno za poravnanje)
No, od sveg srca, čovječe, nadam se da si Dobivam tvoje (Dobivam tvoje, Dobivam tvoje)
Čovječe, nadam se da si Dobivam tvoje (Get tvoje, dobiti tvoj)
Mladi crni kraljica, dobiti svoj sjaj na
Sve što vidim je inovatori i vreća od ikona
Možete ići i pitati cijeli svijet u kojem su dobili svoj stil od
To je vas, koji nas je, Božje vrijeme i on nikad ne dobiva vremenski krivo
Mislim da smo samo neke navlake tempirane bombe
Uskoro ćemo puhati, bum
[Završnu]
Mogu napraviti moj svijet obistiniti
Svi moji snovi će me vidjeti kroz
A ako to neće dobiti mi se
Moji snovi će se stvari sve oko sebe
S osmijehom po licu
Vidim bolje mjesto
Nije važno što će doći moj način
Vjeruj mi sad, ja ću pobijediti jednog dana
