Cold Nation - Black Man Lyrics

What do you see when you look at me?
A scary black man with razor sharp teeth?
My skin is dark and rich as the earth
And I'll stay as proud as I was at birth

Cuz Ima
Black man
Black man
Yeah that's me
Black man
Black man
Is who I'll be
Black man
Black man
Yeah that's me
Black man
Black man
Is all I see

My skin is black and its my greatest shield
My words are the sword That slaughter and kill
They obliterate
And liberate Us
From our oppressors
They assimilate
And litigate us
To show were not lesser
I walk into the room
With a flush in my hands
I have a power
You can't take again
It's the freedom of thought
It's the freedom to vote
It's the power of my dollar
That persuades you the most

Cuz Ima
Black man
Black man
Yeah that's me
Black man
Black man
Is who I'll be
Black man
Black man
Yeah that's me
Black man
Black man
Is all I see

I came into this land
Bringing truths from the earth
Bearing a nation on my back
That my labor has birthed
They tell me i should sing
Of stars and stripes
But i have a flag
That's as black as the dark of the night
Its red as the blood
That flows through me
And as green
As Africa's fertility

Cuz Ima
Black man
Black man
Yeah that's me
Black man
Black man
Is who I'll be
Black man
Black man
Yeah that's me
Black man
Black man
Is all I see

I stand and i march with Dr King
I cry for Gigi and Kobe's passing
I praise the skills of the late great Prince
And I take a knee with Kaepernick
I stand against Gayle and Oprah Winfrey
Putting down black men very hastily
I ride in my Cadillac with Nipsey Hussell
And in scratching these beats with my mans
Mr Mizell
I stroll on down with the divine 9
I fight against black on black crime
I fight for the honor of my kings and queens
And i fight for the right to let me be me

Cuz Ima
Black man
Black man
Yeah that's me
Black man
Black man
Is who I'll be
Black man
Black man
Yeah that's me
Black man
Black man
Is all I see

Place ya hand in the air
If you agree with me
Stand up if you wanna
Walk this path with me
Place ya hand in the air
If you agree with me
Say it all together
PEACE BE WITH ME!

Cuz Ima
Black man
Black man
Yeah that's me
Black man
Black man
Is who I'll be
Black man
Black man
Yeah thats me
Black man
Black man
Is all I see

The Bishop
