Young black man, steady tryna survive, yes
Even with that look in my eye
He's a nice guy, never slip n' slide, even with the chicken fried
Me and the homies we gon trip tonight
On the beat I'm running, all up in ya ear, drums keep me stunting
I don't wanna hear about the black man hunted so I gotta show y'all how the black man want it
Bounce with this, pounce on this
Three-Fifths of clout you get the common sense to refit your mind, your spirit, the soul
Ain't nobody really understand the mode
Ain't nobody really for really, they question my dealy
Yeah I smoke that gas, but y'all still gonna feel me
When they shoot a black, yeah I feel that bullet
Baby girl, I'm tired, please don't pursue it
We made an entire magical black movement
If you ain't about it this is not your revolution
No way, y'all polluting every little mind of its own
To hate the color of their skin & inside of they homes
Sherlock, hit the drop top when I hit that hot spot
You know River got that, magic in the contact
You know I got that magic in the contact
They say we're not good enough
But everybody copies us
Say we criminals but don't be fooled
A black man can be a hero too
How I change up
In my city said they know me for the games that I played with the majors
No favors said I got a full plate no hate won't share it with the strangers
Won't phase us, black man walking hands down and all they see is danger
Damn all they see is danger, damn all they see is danger
Bounce with this, said they even wanna vibe with this
Got the hood wanna ride with this woah yeah
They going down with this, they killing all my kind it's apocalypse
Imma shine, Imma shine you can have the fame
Got family in the dirt it's a damn shame
Put the hustle with the grind I'm a black man
No love all pain get it how we get it man
Mama said stand tall ten toes down
Yeah they hating on my shine what's the word now
Bring us down but we all young Kings
Labeled us as killas now we all gonna sing yeah
One team, one heart, one love
Skin color black let's rise above yeah
Said we all young Kings labeled us as killas now we all gonna sing yeah
They say we're not good enough
But everybody copies us
Say we criminals but don't be fooled
A black man can be a hero too
I work a 9 to 5 just like you, I'm always on my grind
But just because I rap doesn't me I resemble all of my kind
We got doctors, lawyers, officers, models, business owners too
Ignorance is bliss and yeah, that always catches up with truth
Who does it better, does better than our people
Who does it better, does it better that's how we roll
Say it loud, say it proud I'm a Black man
Say it loud, say it proud if you a Black man
Power respect and yeah we gon get it like that

The black the better and shawty she know it yeah
They say we're not good enough
But everybody copies us
Say we criminals but don't be fooled
A black man can be a hero too
Who does it better, does better than our people
Who does it better, does it better that's how we roll
Say it loud, say it proud I'm a Black man
Say it loud, say it proud if you a Black man
Black men can be heroes too
Black men can be heroes too
