They only give us one month of black history
We get the less time
But I bet if I was up in that courtroom
We get the best time
No loud talking no negative stress time
Life is not a Sony camera can't press rewind
But you can learn from your mistakes and reset your mind
Work on how we eating replace our flesh with swine
Too many strong black leaders that walk the earth before us
We try our best to repeat them It's hard cause we can't see em
All we see is heathens
The demons taking place of the deacons
Been talking to God more I'm decent
Better than the recent he got me out the precinct
Had some wise women in my life and now they teaching
All the wise men come together holy feasting
Black history year
Black history year
All the strong men and women rise to power no fear
What's a short month man we need the whole year
Black history year Black history year
All the strong colored folk that once was here
Forget February we need the whole year
This song will never stop if I name drop
So I'm just reminding my people to stay hot
They not stopping us
That's if we come together
Interracial relationships they can't stop us forever
My job be thinking they can talk to me anyway
Like we ain't help build the USA
And still helping today
We ain't picking cotton literally just in a different way
You don't know yo history then mentally yo vision gray
Talk with education white man ain't got a lick to say
From J-Ones to Playa 1 but I ain't here to play
Playa 1 back to J-Ones now let me demonstrate
I been this way
Must get a million before I disintegrate
I'm in this state Known in Chicago we gotta get it straight
I'm here to stay
Like our ancestors what have you did today
Hence to say I die today
Later so my kids can play
Black history year
Black history year
All the strong men and women rise to power no fear
What's a short month man we need the whole year
Black history year Black history year
All the strong colored folk that once was here
Forget February we need the whole year
I used to pray for times like this
To rhyme like this So I had to
Stop smoking that and stop drinking this
And you would think I'm good after my first kid
But I had to really grow up map out my grid
See we too good to lose too high to fail
We way too fly for lame too smart for jail
We got it straight to Clarke or straight to Yale
Columbia just don't underestimate yourself
You got all the magic underneath your belt
Limited phone time topic mental health
The people walked before you helped you out right now
And if they try to flip it on you turn it upside down
Let them know who you are
A star
A giant
A queen
A king
Dependable
Reliant
A soldier
Defiant
Success is the triumph
They not the kings of our jungle
They lying
Black history year
Black history year
All the strong men and women rise to power no fear
What's a short month man we need the whole year
Black history year Black history year
All the strong colored folk that once was here
Forget February we need the whole year
