INTRO
Uh
6X
Oh yea yea yea yea yea
Oh yea yea yea yea
What?
HOOK
Black people run the internet
From gossip to news
From winners to losers
We run the internet (yeah)
Black people run the innernet
Instead of the whole world wide web
It's us instead
We run the internet (yeah)
VERSE
We’re stepping through gracefully, faithfully
Dеdicated to our identity
No matter thе type of parody
No matter the lack of clarity
Around our ancestral history
I'm moving with deep sincerity
Just tryna live and get free
HOOK
RAP
From dress to culture
Business to trends
Math, music & science
Our contributions don't end
Octavia to Ava
From Prince to KING
Chaka to Erykah
Forever connecting
So I’m moving in passion
Courage, love & light
You know the darker the berry
Well the harder the fight
No more tip toeing to greatness
Still reciting our rights
We're still reciting our rights
Being sold our death is alright?
A brutal victim today
A hashtag martyr tonight
Dissecting visions and dreams
As hallucinations and schemes
It's rebranded, you don't understand it
Simple oppressive bandit
You don't have the bandwidth
Yeah, I said it
And I meant it
Yeah I said it
And I meant it
INTRO REPRISE
I pray for peace
I pray for hope
So I can embrace me
Just as I am
I pray for love
I pray for understanding
So you can embrace me
Just as I am
