Black Flowers

[Intro: Jay Supreme]
In the air we have a ball
From the darkness we have light
As a seed we become a plant
Through the weeds in a garden
We are black flowers

You started as a seed that was planted
Life on earth is what you've been granted
Now it's up to you to do
What you need to continue
Life then enjoy the world
Growing like a cultured pearl
Make the best of what you have
And travel down the lighted path

[Verse 1: Lana Earl]
Sunshine on her very first day
She used to cry but now she's feeling okay
So she started walking 'cause her legs got strong
Wherever she ended, she could never go wrong
Hard times they used to have
Her mother raised her without a dad
She was young but she's seen it all
They fought and struggled and now they stand tall

[Chorus: Lana Earl]
Black flowers shining bright
They're gonna make it through the night
Black flowers came so far
She'll never give up 'til she'll reach the top
Black flowers, oh they're gonna make it
Black flowers, shining, shining bright

[Verse 2: Lana Earl]
Fun times when she started school
She did her work and she played by the rules
But the teacher never showed them right
Their class was black but he taught them white
Sometimes she would get upset
She had straight A's but she got no respect
Now she's grown and things have changed
She's paid in full and made her own name

[Chorus: Lana Earl]
Black flowers shining bright
They're gonna make it through the night
Black flowers came so far
She'll never give up 'til she'll reach the top
Black flowers, oh they're gonna make it
Black flowers, shining, shining bright

[Bridge: Jay Supreme]
Knowledge is what we all need
That's the key to succeed
Leave those substances alone
Those that are made and grown
Answers you'll find if you seek
Troubles and problems, they get weak
Priorities they must be straight
Bloom black flowers, control your fate

[Pre-Chorus: Lana Earl]
She said I'm never, I'm never
I'm never gonna stop until I make it
She said I'm never, I'm never
I'm never gonna stop until I make it, yeah

[Chorus: Lana Earl]
Black flowers shining bright
They're gonna make it through the night
Black flowers came so far
She'll never give up 'til she'll reach the top

Black flowers shining bright
They're gonna make it through the night
Black flowers came so far
She'll never give up 'til she'll reach the top

[Outro: Lana Earl]
Black flowers
Black flowers
Black flowers
Black flowers
