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 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 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 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 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 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
